Drew McIntyre to betray a major WWE star at WrestleMania 40

WWE superstar Drew McIntyre recently hinted at a potential betrayal involving his long-time adversary, Seth Rollins.

The 38-year-old emerged victorious in the Men’s Elimination Chamber match held in Perth, delivering an impressive performance by pinning three opponents during the intense bout.

Following his triumph, McIntyre is set to challenge The Visionary for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XL.

In a recent appearance on WWE’s The Bump, McIntyre dropped a tantalizing hint about a possible twist at The Show of Shows. The former WWE Champion suggested that Seth Rollins’ wife, Becky Lynch, might be secretly supporting McIntyre for their match at ‘Maina:

“First of all, obviously Becky (Lynch) has to say that when she is on camera. We saw each other off camera briefly and she was like ‘Drew, I’ve got to say that. You know I’m The Man of the house and it would be pretty cool for two Celtics to be successful at WrestleMania. Big Celtic invasion at WrestleMana, so do it for the lads’. But that was offscreen, she said [From 55:05 onwards]

McIntyre’s recent bout on the February 19 edition of Monday Night RAW saw him become the first person to pin Cody Rhodes since Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39.

However, the match was not without interference from Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa of The Bloodline.

Despite accusations from Michael Cole and Pat McAfee on commentary, who labeled McIntyre a hypocrite for accepting The Bloodline’s assistance, McIntyre defended his actions on WWE’s The Bump.

He criticized veteran commentator Michael Cole for painting him in a negative light:

“It bothers me a lot. Not Michael Cole specifically, but Pat (McAfee), and anybody in commentary, they are the voices of WWE. Michael (Cole) is the voice of WWE, he controls the narrative. He affects exactly how the fans think and feel, and he is painting me with this negative brush. I can’t swear on here but it pees me off. I feel like I’m being attacked, and if I don’t have the appropriate time on the show to say how I feel about Michael because I am focused on something else, I have to go to social media to get the truth out there,” he said.

Drew McIntyre is a former two-time WWE Champion. However, both his title reigns were during the pandemic period when arenas were empty. At the upcoming edition of The Grandest Stage of Them All, McIntyre would look to have his WrestleMania moment in front of a packed crowd.
