10 Things WWE MUST Do Before 2024

3. Turn Drew McIntyre Heel

The process has already started, in fairness.

Recent episodes of Raw have previously-majestic hero Drew McIntyre questioning whether or not that's appreciated given the current red brand landscape. He's been sickened by Cody Rhodes (and others) accepting ex-Bloodline brute Jey Uso after numerous kickings, and is probably miffed at fans for embracing the 'Main Event' man as well.

All of this has led to a quasi-'Loose Cannon' feel to Drew's current character. He's flip-flopping between heel and babyface mannerisms during the same match/segment, and it's only leading one place: Ye olde bad guy locker room. Let's hope the man doesn't travel with any babyfaces, because he'll have to stop!

Oops, this isn't 1985 anymore. Apologies. Jokes aside, McIntyre must go full-blown rogue before the end of the year. He'd be killer as a vicious villain capable of anything, and being set loose on heel promos would probs reignite Drew's own enjoyment of those backstage/in-ring skits.
