With the draft complete, Drew McIntyre is eager to prove he still has what it takes to compete with the best.

The professional wrestling world was stunned in January of 2016 when Japanese mega-star Shinsuke Nakamura confirmed that he was taking his talents to the States and signing with WWE. For years, Nakamura was one of the most adored and revered wrestlers in all of Japanese pro wrestling. Many would consider him one of the greatest and certainly most decorated stars in the entire region.
Shinsuke excelled in New Japan Pro Wrestling, winning the IWGP Heavyweight Championship 3 times, as well as capturing the IWGP Intercontinental Championship 5 times. Nakamura also claimed just about every other championship NJPW had to offer.

Since arriving in America, Shinsuke Nakamura has not let the WWE Universe down. His unique "strong style" approach has given new life to the company in a way that fans had not been used to enjoying. Now that he has been officially drafted into the Smackdown brand, Nakamura is looking for a new dance partner.
With that said, I believe a well-thought-out and delivered feud with Drew McIntyre could be just what the fans need.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
