Big update on Drew McIntyre's WWE future

There is a big update on Drew McIntyre's WWE future. The Scottish Psychopath signed a new multi-year deal with the promotion last year and since then has been involved in some top programs.

At SummerSlam, he teamed up with Logan Paul to beat Randy Orton and Jelly Roll and brutally attacked Cody Rhodes two weeks ago on SmackDown. Now, a report has detailed WWE's plans for McIntyre.

According to PWInsider, the word backstage is that Rhodes is set to defend his title against Drew McIntyre at the rumored Wrestlepalooza event on September 20 in Indianapolis.

WWE is reportedly bringing back the old ECW pay-per-view to go head-to-head with AEW's All Out. The PLE will also see John Cena take on Brock Lesnar in one of the reported matches.

WWE has no future plans for Rhea? Here's why!

McIntyre took out Rhodes following a tag team match on SmackDown two weeks ago. He hit Rhodes with the title belt before delivering a Claymore through the front of the commentary table. The Scottish Warrior then talked about going after the Undisputed WWE Championship as he walked off.

Drew McIntyre addressed his attack on Cody Rhodes

Last week on SmackDown, Drew McIntyre came out to address his attack on Cody Rhodes.

McIntyre said, unlike Rhodes, he doesn't care about the validation from fans and wants the Undisputed WWE Championship, having been screwed more times than he can count.

He then blamed Rhodes for what happened, saying the champion attacked him first. He mentioned that the match was over due to disqualification after Logan Paul hit Cena with a low blow, but Rhodes smashed his face into the ring post.

McIntyre ended the promo by saying he is the real nightmare. It looks like the two stars are headed for a collision course soon, where Rhodes will seek revenge for the brutal attack while McIntyre eyes the championship.

While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
