#2. Drew McIntyre can emerge as a bigger babyface than before

Drew McIntyre is already a big babyface, but there are small cracks when it comes to his consistent fan reactions, and that's primarily due to WWE's handling of him post-WrestleMania 37.

It hasn't been bad in the last few months, particularly when McIntyre was out of the WWE title picture and facing the likes of Jinder Mahal. The company did a great job building him as a top babyface leading up to 2020. Leading up to that run, he was rarely ever pinned or submitted, and he was quietly pushed and protected ahead of his epic Royal Rumble win in 2021.

The only thing that went wrong at that time for Drew McIntyre was the COVID-19 pandemic. His match with Brock Lesnar would have likely lasted well over five minutes, but a lot of things changed.

For WWE, it's time to step back and rethink how they can present McIntyre going forward. Perhaps a heel turn is necessary for him to emerge as a bigger and more popular babyface in the long run, rather than looking at his short-term future.
