10 Reasons Why WWE Must Turn Drew McIntyre Heel Immediately
2. His Pandemic Title Reign
Meanwhile, kayfabe Drew has another reason to feel hard done by. His lengthy WWE Title reign was entirely contained within an even lengthier pandemic era with no fans in attendance. He was all set to win the big one in front of a stadium crowd at WrestleMania 36. Instead of gasps, “this is awesome” chants and roars of approval, his victory played out to the gentle hum of the Performance Centre ceiling fan.
In real life McIntyre was dignified about the whole thing, but in storylines isn’t it time for him to get a little bit bitter? After all, as his crowd responses become increasingly mixed, he’s seeing other guys soak up the adulation he believes he deserves. The fans have forgotten what he did “for each and every one of you” while they were stuck at home.
Yes, in storyline, Drew had his shot at a real WrestleMania moment. Then he allowed himself to get distracted, handing Bobby Lashley the victory. But he won’t take responsibility for that. Instead it will just make him look more unreasonable, his whinging more heelish.
