Top WWE Star Admits He's Hesitant To Turn Heel
This wrestler says WWE has a "lot of equity" in his name outside the ring.
Recent WWE comeback king Drew McIntyre isn't totally against turning heel again someday, but he has more on his mind than just what'd suit his on-screen character.
The big Scot told Armon Sandler's 'Stay Busy' podcast that WWE has "a lot of equity" in McIntyre as a character. He's often called upon to visit athletes at the Special Olympics, and Drew understands just how much that means to the men and women he speaks to at such events.
He'd have to stop and properly think before pulling the trigger on a heel turn.
Now, perhaps for the first time, Drew understands the dilemma John Cena faced throughout his career. McIntyre said Cena always operated at a much higher level than he has outside the ring, but there are similarities between both men - Drew certainly gets why John was so hesitant to turn heel again, put it that way.
However, McIntyre did also say he's "willing to go in any direction that's interesting". A random heel turn without thought doesn't appeal to him though, because that'd be a total waste.
Some careful planning would be necessary.
