WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre has been on a roll lately, enjoying a successful reign as the World Heavyweight Champion and receiving widespread acclaim for his current heel gimmick on television. However, it wasn’t long ago that the 38-year-old Scot was dealing with a personal tragedy that forced him to take a step back from the wrestling world.
In a recent interview with PWInsider, McIntyre revealed that he was grateful to Triple H and Nick Khan for giving him the time and space he needed to be with his family during a difficult period. The Scottish Warrior’s wife’s sister had passed away, and McIntyre was struggling to come to terms with the loss.
McIntyre credited Triple H and Khan for being understanding and accommodating, saying that they gave him the freedom to take a break from television whenever he needed it. This display of empathy and support from the WWE hierarchy is a testament to the positive changes that have been implemented in the company under Triple H’s leadership.
Interestingly, McIntyre’s personal struggles coincided with a significant shift in his on-screen persona, as he transitioned from a fan favorite to a heel. The move has been widely praised by fans and critics alike, with many appreciating the added depth and complexity that McIntyre has brought to his character.
Meanwhile, Cody Rhodes, another top WWE Superstar, has been vocal about his desire to face McIntyre in the ring. Rhodes recently appeared on Busted Open Radio, where he expressed his admiration for McIntyre’s skills and revealed that he would love to defend his Undisputed WWE Championship against the Scottish Warrior.
The American Nightmare cited McIntyre’s past victory over him as a motivation to want to face him again. With tensions simmering between the two, a potential match between McIntyre and Rhodes could be an exciting development in the WWE storyline.
As the WWE continues to build towards its next major event, fans will be eagerly watching to see if McIntyre and Rhodes will indeed clash in the ring. With their combustible mix of skills, personalities, and motivations, this could be a match for the ages.
