Drew McIntyre has been excelling as a top villain in WWE recently. The Scottish Warrior has been showcasing his unique persona to the WWE Universe. Amidst his ongoing antics, McIntyre took credit for choosing his opponent at WrestleMania XL. In an interview, he referred to himself as the ‘People’s Executioner,’ claiming that he was the reason Cody chose Reigns.
In an interview with West Sport, McIntyre explained that Rhodes had promised the WWE Universe to conclude his story against the Tribal Chief. However, on Raw, he ultimately chose someone else, which disappointed the fans. As a result, McIntyre decided to take matters into his own hands and attacked the American Nightmare. This led to him ultimately selecting the Head of the Table as his opponent at WrestleMania.
Furthermore, McIntyre criticized Rhodes for even considering choosing the Visionary to face at WrestleMania. Prior to Rhodes’ decision, he had hinted at challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship. However, at WrestleMania Kickoff, the American Nightmare confirmed his choice to face Reigns at the Show of Shows.
As for McIntyre, he is scheduled to compete in the Elimination Chamber in Australia. The high-stakes match will feature several stars, including McIntyre himself, and the winner will earn the opportunity to face the Visionary at WrestleMania. Only time will tell if McIntyre will emerge victorious in Perth and make his way to the Grandest Stage of Them All.
Drew McIntyre is currently one of the top superstars in WWE. He has been doing an exceptional job as the company’s primary antagonist. However, there have been uncertainties surrounding his contract. Amidst the conflicting rumors, a new report suggests that WWE may extend his contract for a few additional months.
According to Fightful Select via SEScoops, McIntyre’s contract has been extended by WWE, even beyond WrestleMania XL in Philadelphia. This extension is due to McIntyre’s injury, which kept him inactive for a couple of months. As a result, his contract has been prolonged to account for the time he was unable to compete.
There are speculations that the 38-year-old superstar will have a significant role at WrestleMania. It is rumored that he will face Seth Rollins for the World Title in the main event. Therefore, it seems unlikely that he will leave the company after his contract expires. It will be intriguing to see what the future holds for McIntyre.
