Vince McMahon’s Thinking Behind Drew McIntyre’s Push

Drew McIntyre is likely being groomed for big things. “The Scottish Psychopath” has been protected pretty well on WWE TV as of late. In his matches, McIntyre doesn’t get pinned when he or his team are defeated. In his WWE World Cup qualifier match loss to Seth Rollins, McIntyre lost via count out. He then ended the show by taking out Braun Strowman with a Claymore Kick.

During a recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer offered some insight into McIntyre’s current push on the main roster. Meltzer noted that McIntyre and Ziggler’s partnership was supposed to be similar to that of the storyline between Shawn Michaels and Diesel. When WWE paired Michaels and Diesel together, they wanted Diesel to be the Superstar because he fit the company’s look.

Meltzer said, hopefully, this plan works better, and it already should since McIntyre is a better wrestler than Diesel. As for whether or not he can carry a company, you won’t know until he’s in the position. If all goes according to plan, McIntyre could be in the World Title picture very soon.
