WithWWEflying high in 2025, wrestling fans are witnessing a true renaissance within the promotion.
One such talent isDrew McIntyre, who went through his own reinvention a decade ago.
Upon his return to WWE, he established himself as a prime-time player within the organization.
Because of that, he plays the role of a modern-day heel perfectly.
He’s fully embraced it, and he’s taking it to a whole new level in 2025.
And to say he was misused during those first seven years in the United States would be an understatement.
Unfortunately, 3MB was a sign of things to come, and he was released by the promotion.
He was a buzzsaw in NXT, and an almost instant sensation when he returned to the main roster.
Will Drew Win a World Championship in 2025?
And make no mistake, if he can brag about his accomplishments in a promo, he will.
Cody Rhodes is dealing with John Cena for now, and Gunther will be challenged by Jey Uso.
His ultimate path to gold may become clearer following the ‘reset’ that the promotion has afterWrestleManiaevery year.
But often, it comes as phony and desperate.
That’s not the case with Drew McIntyre, who has mastered the art of crowd reaction.
In every soliloquy that McIntyre delivers, he at least tries to justify his actions.
McIntyre himself even phrased it that way,in responseto a fan on Tik-Tok.
“The best heel turns are the justified ones,” McIntyre posted.
“Whos a heel?
Whos a bad guy?
Are we not watching the show and not keeping up with things?
Do I have to spell things out even more simply?
If youre a fan of mine, like I said on Raw, you get it.
In the current, stacked landscape of the WWE, this is an incredible merit.
Or to make other Superstars relevant.
From a creative perspective, it doesn’t get much better than that.
