Drew McIntyre Wins World Heavyweight Championship At WWE WrestleMania 40

Drew McIntyre has finally won a World Championship in front of fans by becoming World Heavyweight Champion in the opening match at WrestleMania 40: Sunday.

McIntyre made his entrance at WrestleMania 40: Sunday following a performance by the Ulster Scottish Pipe Band. Not to be outdone, Rollins made a colorful entrance with the Philadelphia Mummers The pair weren’t the only notable names involved in the match, as CM Punk was on commentary for the bout

The match was finisher-heavy with McIntyre using the Claymore Kick as well as the Future Shock DDT. Rollins fired back by using the Stomp and even hit the move on the announce table. In the end, it was the Claymore that scored McIntyre the World Heavyweight Championship.

 After the match, McIntyre presented the championship to his wife. You can check out some highlights from the match below.

Drew McIntyre as World Champion

This win marked McIntyre’s third World Championship victory and his first in front of a live crowd. Drew’s first title win came at WrestleMania 36 in 2020 which due to the Covid-19 pandemic, took place without a live crowd. McIntyre captured the WWE Championship from Brock Lesnar at the event. 

McIntyre would regain the title from Randy Orton later that same year. While this title win took place in the Thunderdome, meaning there were crowd reactions, it still took place without live fans. McIntyre would hold the title until Elimination Chamber 2021, where The Miz would cash in Money in the Bank to dethrone the Scottish Warrior. 

Money in the Bank Cash In

Unfortunately for McIntyre, his reign with the gold was short-lived. After the match, Drew would goad CM Punk, who attacked McIntyre at ringside. Damian Priest would then cash in Money in the Bank to win the World Heavyweight Championship. 

Drew McIntyre Plans To Quit WWE If He Can’t Beat Seth Rollins At WrestleMania 40

Drew McIntyre has been through a lot in front of pro wrestling fans. Now, he is preparing to walk into WrestleMania Sunday, and he has a lot at stake.

The Scottish Warrior will battle Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40. McIntyre has plans, either win the title or quit WWE entirely.

During WWE World, Drew McIntyre spoke to Bryon Saxton about his upcoming Mania match. He made a very firm declaration that if he cannot beat Seth Rollins, then he will quit WWE.

“I’ve been doing this since I was 15-years-old. It’s all I’ve ever wanted to do. It was my part-time job in high school and through university. I’m a wrestler, I’ve always been a professional wrestler. I was signed to WWE at 21-years-old, fired at 29, truly found myself, came back and became the man, the Superstar I am today.

I’ve never been better, I’m in my prime in the ring, I’m in my prime on the microphone, because I’m just myself. I just realized, ‘Drew, be yourself,’ and social media, don’t come at me on that thing, I’ll tear you to shreds on social media, I’ve never been better all around. But, if I can’t beat Seth Rollins on Sunday, I quite frankly don’t belong in this industry, I’ll quit WWE.”

Drew McIntyre’s WWE Contract Status

It was reported at the end of March that McIntyre has given the impression to those close to him that he still has no new deal arranged with WWE. This fact comes in light of the fact that WWE has booked him in an incredibly strong role on the road to WrestleMania 40.

McIntyre keeps throwing shade at CM Punk, whose injury time is not expected to be up before Drew’s contract ends. WWE has also advertised McIntyre for some dates past his expiration date.

Drew McIntyre will try his best to walk out of Lincoln Financial Field as WWE World Heavyweight Champion, so his current contract status is a very interesting situation.

WWE has not inked a new deal with Becky Lynch, either. She said that this is not concerning to her, even though her contract is up in two months. Endeavor is obviously handling contracts in their own way.

Drew McIntyre Looking Forward to”Easiest Payday Of My Life” Against Seth Rollins At WWE WrestleMania 40

It’ll be an easy night at the office for Drew McIntyre when he faces Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40: Sunday, especially considering the events of the Saturday show. 

At WWE WrestleMania 40: Saturday, Rollins teamed with Cody Rhodes in a losing effort to The Rock & Roman Reigns. This match means that the upcoming Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match between Rhodes and Reigns will be under ‘Bloodline Rules,’ meaning that anything goes. 

One person who was watching the main event closely was Drew McIntyre who on Twitter boasted that the match went exactly as he predicted. McIntyre, wearing a CM Punk hoodie, said that Rollins is walking into an “execution” and said that he’s ready to take the World Heavyweight Championship from the attention “junkie.” McIntyre was similarly confident in the tweet for his video, declaring that the upcoming title match would be the “easiest payday” of his career. 

A Wounded Champion

McIntyre can hardly be blamed for feeling confident heading into WrestleMania 40: Sunday. During the tag-team main event, Rollins was seen favoring his knee which seems to have been injured during the match. Rollins’ back was also a target during the match with The Rock locking in the Sharpshooter on the World Heavyweight Champion. 

Rollins’ work as a fighting champion has resulted in the Architect piling up injuries that could prove to be the difference maker at WWE WrestleMania 40: Sunday. Rollins injured back was a pivotal part of his 2023 feud with Shinsuke Nakamura but Rollins retained against his fellow former NXT Champion. 

Drew McIntyre Trains With AEW Wrestler Ahead of WrestleMania

Drew McIntyre is going the extra mile in preparation for his upcoming battle against Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40. ‘The Scottish Warrior’ was spotted doing a workout session in the gym with none other than AEW star Brian Cage.

We are just a few days away from what is being billed as ‘The Biggest WrestleMania Ever’ and Drew McIntyre is pushing himself in the gym. The former WWE Champion took to his Twitter/X account and dropped a video clip of a bench press session with Brian Cage being the spotter. McIntyre said that it was his last chest workout session before ‘The Show of Shows’. His caption read: 

“It’s #WrestleMania week and the beast has been let out the CAGE.”  

Brian Cage took note of the post and replied to McIntyre:

Drew McIntyre and Brian Cage in gym

Drew McIntyre is set to challenge Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40. ‘The Scottish Warrior’ has overcome a lot of hindrances on his way to this weekend’s high-stakes match. He outlasted five other competitors to win the 2024 Elimination Chamber match and secured his title opportunity.

He has been involved in a rivalry with CM Punk as well. From time to time, McIntyre has taken shots at ‘The Second City Saviour.’ Notably, CM Punk was the original challenger planned for ‘The Visionary’ at WrestleMania 40. But those plans were nixed when Punk suffered a torn tricep at the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble match and it came upon as a blessing in disguise for McIntyre.

Drew McIntyre’s future 

Fans are buzzing about his future. Though McIntyre is set for a huge match at WrestleMania 40, it’s quite interesting that his contract with WWE is running out soon. A new deal hasn’t been inked yet which means he could be a top free agent on the market shortly. 

AEW has been the preferred destination for the free agents in recent memory. It will be no surprise if Tony Khan splurges a massive sum of money to rope in ‘The Scottish Warrior’ similar to how he has signed stars such as Adam Copeland, Mercedes Mone, and Kazuchika Okada. 

Well, all that depends on what McIntyre wants in the future. Will it be WWE? or AEW? Only time will tell.

Did You Recognize the TNA Wrestling Location Used During 4/1 WWE Monday Night Raw?

The April 1, episode of WWE Raw served as a compelling go-home show before WrestleMania 40 but also had a segment that TNA fans may have found familiar. 

Raw saw the Superstars of the red brand try and build momentum ahead of WWE WrestleMania 40. The fifth-annual two-night WrestleMania will kick off on April 6 from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, PA. 

Drew McIntyre’s Funeral for CM Punk

On Monday Night Raw, Drew McIntyre was at a funeral home where he gave a eulogy mocking CM Punk’s ‘dead’ dream of headlining WrestleMania. McIntyre ridiculed Punk as an “out of shape has been” whose “fragile” body failed him in the Royal Rumble match (when Punk got injured) worse than when he was in the UFC. Not done there, McIntyre also gave a eulogy for Seth Rollins title reign that McIntyre hopes to finish at WrestleMania 40. 

A Familiar Venue

Funerals in wrestling are not uncommon and fans who watched Raw may have found this segment eerily familiar. As fans on social media pointed out, this funeral home featured on Raw has been used by TNA Wrestling in the past. The same location was used in 2005 when there was a funeral for Team 3-D, known to WWE fans as the Dudley Boyz. 

Years later, the same funeral home would be used for a segment in which the Aces & Eights faction was laid to rest. 

WWE & TNA segments at the funeral home. 

TNA Involvement in WWE

WWE is host to several ex-TNA names, both on-screen and working behind the scenes. In 2018, Jeremy Borash joined WWE and works with the NXT brand. His official role in the company is as Senior Director of Content and Development and he was specifically chosen to help produce the 2020 Boneyard match between AJ Styles and The Undertaker. 

Chris Park also works for WWE after spending years in TNA as Abyss. Park currently serves as a producer and appeared in a segment with fellow TNA alum AJ Styles on SmackDown in August 2020.

Deal Ticking Down: Drew McIntyre’s Current WWE Contract Status on Road to WrestleMania 40

Drew McIntyre will battle Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40 for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. All of that attention on the Scottish Warrior apparently hasn’t encouraged him to ink a new deal.

It is now reported that, despite Drew McIntyre’s road to a World Heavyweight Title match at WrestleMania, and the continued feud against CM Punk, that no new deal has been signed. McIntyre’s contract is still set to run out in the not too distant future.

Drew McIntyre’s WWE Contract Status

PW Insider reports that Drew McIntyre has given the impression to those close to him that he still has no new deal arranged with WWE. This fact comes in light of the fact that WWE has booked him in an incredibly strong role on the road to WrestleMania 40.

“The belief is that everyone is working under the understanding a new deal will be struck, but the word out of his camp is that nothing has been signed and that whatever his next move will be, focusing on family will be a major piece of the decision.”

Drew McIntyre and CM Punk

Drew McIntyre won’t stop with the shade at CM Punk. The two even traded insults on the March 25 episode of RAW in Chicago.

On a related note, I was able to confirm that Punk’s line about Vince McMahon was totally improvised. We will have to see if there is more of a plan for Punk and Drew to collide down the line, but it may require him to ink a new deal with WWE.

Drew put Punk on his merchandise, and he continues to troll him mercilessly. That is why McIntyre showed up at Mindy’s Bakery in Chicago before RAW to take a shot at Punk’s Brawl Out past. 

McIntyre has also commented on how CM Punk is “made of glass,” as he continues to hype an eventual collision. The trolling has not stopped from Drew to Punk, so one must think that he wants to eventually cash in with a match. Only time will tell what he does with his next contract situation.

SEScoops will have continued coverage of this story, and so many more from the pro wrestling world. Keep checking back throughout the day for more headlines.

CM Punk, Seth Rollins & Drew McIntyre Were Given Plenty of Freedom for 3/25 WWE Raw Segment

Some WWE Superstars were given far more flexibility than usual with their promo during the March 25, episode of WWE Monday Night Raw. 

The penultimate Raw before WWE WrestleMania 40 took place at the All-State Arena in Chicago, Illinois. The show went off the air in shocking fashion with Cody Rhodes being left a bloodied heap by The Rock, fulfilling his promise to make the American Nightmare bleed. 

Punk, McIntyre & Rollins on Raw

Raw also saw Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, and CM Punk share a segment ahead of the World Heavyweight Championship match between Rollins and McIntyre at WrestleMania 40. The segment culminated with Punk, who’s had issues with both men, announcing he will be the guest commentator for their title match

Given Leeway

Rather than the usual scripted dialogue that is expected to be recited word-for-word, this week’s segment saw the talent given more leeway, Fightful Select reports. While there was a general outline of the direction of the promo, Punk, McIntyre, and Rollins were free to express themselves and gauge the audiences’ reaction to their improvisation. WWE Raw General Manager Adam Pearce was listed as the producer of the segment. 

Caught Off Guard

During the segment, the fans rallied for Punk to be the guest referee of the upcoming match, though the Chicago-Made star questioned if he could be objective with the two “dips**ts.” This profanity caught WWE’s production team off-guard, especially following a memo reminding talent of the importance of keeping their language PG. 

Despite this, there were no reported issues backstage following the segment. Later in the show, The Rock also used some expletives during his beatdown on Cody Rhodes. 

Drew McIntyre Speaks Of A Different Sacrifice While Pursuing WWE Dream

Drew McIntyre came to a sobering realization when he was home in Scotland for a friend’s wedding.

Speaking with SHAK Wrestling of CBS Sports, the number one contender for Seth Rollins’ WWE World Heavyweight Championship opened up about how he recently got to see a great deal of his friends in Scotland, some of which he hasn’t seen in over a decade because his longtime friend Blair was getting married.

“I had seen people who were friends who I had not seen in 20 years. I’ve been gone for legitimately 17 years from Scotland to growing up in America. I was part of WWE. It hit me. ‘Wow, I’ve missed a lot. I feel kind of guilty about it.'”

McIntyre said that he was constantly of the mindset that he was the one making the sacrifice leaving home, traveling to shows and putting in the work to become a pro wrestler, but that recent visit made him think that it has been his family and friends, not himself, making the sacrifice.

“They gave up their son, their nephew, their brother, and their uncle who has missed so many important events because he’s chasing his dream and they encourage me to chase my dream. I really started wising up to that and I felt very guilty.”

Drew McIntyre Plans To Pay His Family’s Sacrifice Off At WrestleMania 40

Two targets Drew McIntyre hasn’t shown any ounce of guilt for his his handling of Seth Rollins or CM Punk. In pursuit for a WrestleMania main event, McIntyre has found a new heel self on WWE television and on the 3/25 episode of WWE Raw, McIntyre greatly took aim at the injuried CM Punk. 

However, he’ll have to face Rollins in Philly while Punk will be behind the commentary table, but McIntyre did make note how rewarding it will be if he gets to hand the gold over to someone special back in Scotland.

“I want to give my family that title. I want to give my dad that title,” McIntyre said. “I want to put that title in his hands and say, ‘Here it is. This is what it was all about since I was five years old and you would constantly be telling my brother and I to stop wrestling around the bedroom. … I finally have it and I can finally give it to you and I can finally say, ‘Hey, I did it. I’m the champion of the world.'”

Daily Drop (3/26): Paul Heyman Spotted In Cryptic Encounter, AEW Star Still Injured

Welcome the Daily Drop, your daily roundup of wrestling news and rumors for Tuesday, March 26. WWE held a huge episode of RAW this week in Chicago, and there is a lot to unpack, so let’s get right into it.

Days Until WrestleMania 40: 11

WWE:

Liv Morgan The Hero: Liv Morgan is getting some attention after she saved AEW star CJ Perry’s birthday party from a fire.

Fire The Man: Becky Lynch expressed the idea that she was legit worried that Vince McMahon would fire her in 2020 when she became pregnant.

WrestleMami: WWE dropped a new Rhea Ripley t-shirt that looks very Undertaker-ish. It is also done up in the Judgment Day style, and we can imagine these will sell well. You may click here to see what they have to offer in the WWE Shop.

– Paul Heyman Easter Egg: Eagle-eyed fans spotted Paul Heyman speaking to Drew McIntyre backstage during RAW this week. They could be seen in the background during a backstage segment.

Nightmare Family Engaged: Cody Rhodes’ family was not happy about how The Rock made Cody bleed during RAW this week.

Dominik Got Smashed: Becky Lynch really clocked Dominik Mysterio with a punch this week on RAW. The slow motion video is going viral, and you may check it out below.

WWE NXT (3/26) Card:

  • Bron Breakker & Baron Corbin vs. Alpha Academy (Otis & Akira Tozawa)
  • Ilja Dragunov vs. Channing ‘Stacks’ Lorenzo
  • Shawn Spears vs. Dijak
  • Thea Hail vs. Jazmyn Nyx
  • Josh Briggs vs. Duke Hudson

AEW:

Yuta Injured: Wheeler Yuta was pulled from a multiple man tag team match in CMLL, where he would have teamed with the rest of the BCC. His injury status is a bit worrying now.

AEW Collision Move: Just a reminder for fans that AEW has moved Collision on April 6, so they don’t conflict with WrestleMania.

Drew To AEW: Swerve Strickland commented how perfect Drew McIntyre would be in AEW. We will have to see how those chips fall.

Mercedes’ First AEW Match: Mercedes Mone asked fans who they want to see her face first in AEW. There are a lot of possibilities for her.

JR’s New Book: Jim Ross announced that his new book, “Business Is About to Pick Up!: 50 Years of Wrestling in 50 Unforgettable Calls,” co-written by Paul O’Brien, will be released on May 27.

Upcoming Major Pro Wrestling Events

Looking ahead, here are some of the major upcoming shows that we have in the pipeline:

April 6: NXT Stand & Deliver and WrestleMania XL Saturday from Philadelphia, PA.

April 7: WrestleMania XL Sunday from Philadelphia, PA.

April 21: All Elite Wrestling presents AEW Dynasty live on pay-per-view from St. Louis, Missouri at the Chaifetz Arena.

May 4: WWE Backlash France from Décines-Charpieu, France at the LDLC Arena.

Did You Spot Paul Heyman’s Suspicious Cameo on 3/25 WWE Monday Night Raw?

The March 25, episode of WWE Raw was a truly stacked show, meaning fans may have missed a suspicious appearance by The Bloodline’s Paul Heyman. 

Raw took place in Chicago, IL, less than two weeks away from WrestleMania 40. The show saw a surprise appearance from The Rock who left Cody Rhodes a bloody heap with an assault to close out the show. This attack has not gone unnoticed by others in the Rhodes family. 

CM Punk’s Segment on Raw

WWE Monday Night Raw also saw an appearance by CM Punk, who shared a segment with his two biggest rivals: Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre. Amid personal digs, humorous quips, and a nod to Vince McMahon, it was announced that Punk will be on commentary when McIntyre challenges Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40. An agitated Rollins delivered a stomp to McIntyre to close things out.

Paul Heyman’s Cameo on Raw

During a backstage segment featuring the New Day and DIY, Paul Heyman could be seen in the background, speaking to Drew McIntyre. On Twitter, the WWE on TNT Sports account brought attention to this interesting development. 

Drew McIntyre & The Bloodline

McIntyre’s issues with The Bloodline are well-documented, as it was the debuting Solo Sikoa who cost the Scottish Warrior his shot at the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at Clash at the Castle in 2022. McIntyre would also stand against The Bloodline in that year’s Men’s WarGames match, but would once again come up short. 

With that said, Drew has a lot to gain by forming a pact with The Bloodline. One day before McIntyre challenges Seth Rollins, the World Heavyweight Champion will team with Cody Rhodes to face The Rock and Roman Reigns. McIntyre will no doubt be hoping that The Bloodline softens up the Architect ahead of their title match on WrestleMania 40: Sunday. 

CM Punk Declares WrestleMania 40 Role During 3/25 WWE RAW

CM Punk injured his tricep during the Royal Rumble match, and that took him out of a WrestleMania 40 match. He will still be around for Mania, and he made that clear as he showed up for RAW in Chicago. 

The Second City Savior showed up on WWE RAW this week, and they pushed the limits. Punk made reference to Vince McMahon calling McIntyre the Chosen One years ago, and he even broke the TV-PG rules.

In the end, it was decided that CM Punk will be on commentary during Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre’s match at WrestleMania 40.

Punk Takes Over WWE RAW

CM Punk received a huge ovation as he made his entrance on RAW this week. His promo started off with a huge pop, and then he mentioned Pat McAfee’s show, and how he had Roman Reigns on as a guest. Punk said he didn’t listen to it, because he listens to The Experience and the Drive-Thru, which showed love to Jim Cornette’s two shows.

He mentioned how Roman Reigns was on Pat McAfee’s show recently, and he had some trash to talk about Punk. That is when Punk said that he has a feeling he will cross paths with the Tribal Chief soon.

Then, CM Punk directed his attention to Drew McIntyre, and the Scottish Warrior came out to make his presence known. He trash-talked Punk, saying that he prayed for his injury. 

While Drew McIntyre showed off his merchandise with CM Punk’s name on it, the Second City Savior said that he never had to put another man’s name on a t-shirt to sell it. Then McIntyre wondered why, as a straight edge guy, CM Punk spends all of his time in rehab.

Punk invited McIntyre into the ring, but he didn’t take him up on it. Drew said he was afraid that Punk had a weapon hidden in the ring. Punk laid down on the mat, and then McIntyre crossed his legs and sat on the announce table as they continued.’

Drew McIntyre said he was the Chosen One. Then Punk asked who chose him, “go ahead, say his name!” Drew remained silent, and only smiled. That was, of course, a reference to Vince McMahon.

Seth Rollins entered the situation next, and the Chicago fans sang his song in a big way. Then he got down to business to hype his WWE World Heavyweight Title match against Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania XL.

Rollins asked fans if CM Punk should be on commentary during his match, as fans chanted “referee.” Rollins said that Punk’s injured arm is his “counting arm,” which caused Punk to get on the mat and count 1-2-3. Then Punk said, “to be fair I don’t think I could be objective with these two dip sh*ts.” McIntyre quickly replied, “PG, brother.”

In the end, CM Punk said that he will put on a headset and call CM Punk vs Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 40. This decision drew a very positive response from fans.

WWE’s Original WrestleMania 40 Plans

CM Punk was originally slated to face Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40. Cody Rhodes was always going to win the Royal Rumble, but an injury angle was going to take him out of action. 

The Rock was initially going to take on Roman Reigns in the main event, with Cody waiting until later to cash in his Rumble win. After Punk’s injury and the #WeWantCody reaction from his “Cody Crybabies,” WWE changed the WrestleMania 40 card to what we have today.

Drew McIntyre Visits Chicago Landmark Connected To CM Punk’s Rant Before AEW Brawl Out

CM Punk is out of action as he recovers from a triceps injury. WWE is in Chicago for RAW this week, and Punk will be there. McIntyre will be there as well, and he isn’t letting go of their beef.

Drew McIntyre visited a spot in Chicago to take a little jab at the Second City Savior while he was there. Mindy’s Bakery provided Punk with the muffins he ate while he ranted about the Young Bucks and Colt Cabana just before Brawl Out went down. McIntyre doesn’t want Punk to forget about that.

Drew McIntyre’s Latest Troll At CM Punk

CM Punk went off during the 2022 AEW All Out media scrum. He was angry, bloody, and hungry. As he vented after the pay-per-view, he also ate some muffins from Mindy’s Bakery. That spot has become a very famous location for pro wrestling fans, and Drew McIntyre couldn’t resist.

WWE is in Chicago for RAW this week. Drew McIntyre will be there, and he will continue his road to WrestleMania. The Celtic Warrior couldn’t help but take a shot at CM Punk before the show.

McIntyre showed up at Mindy’s Bakery, with a CM Punk shirt on, and he was very happy to see the establishment first-hand. Sadly, they are closed on Monday and Tuesdays, so he didn’t get anything to eat.

CM Punk will be on RAW this week. He could bring a very unexpected element to the show. McIntyre will be watching that segment closely, and he will also be ready for Punk’s return from injury.

Drew McIntyre’s WWE Future

At last report, Drew McIntyre has not inked a new WWE contract. The former WWE Champion’s deal is set to run up after WrestleMania.

WWE is advertising McIntyre for events after his contract is set to expire. The fact that he is giving so much effort into trolling CM Punk is also a possible sign that he plans on sticking around.

McIntyre’s contract did have some time tacked onto it as an extension due to time he got off due to injury in 2023. SEScoops will have more on this story, and many more, so please keep checking back throughout the day.

Swerve Strickland Thinks Drew McIntyre Would Be A ‘Major Fit’ For AEW

Swerve Strickland sees unlimited value in Drew McIntyre and would like to see the Scotsman make his way to AEW.

Speaking on “Bootleg Kev” Strickland was asked by one of the hosts if he had to chose a WWE talent to jump ship to AEW, who would he pick. Swerve laid out a big case as to why Drew McIntyre would equal major value for All Elite Wrestling.

“Man, I would love to see a Drew McIntyre over here, you know? Contract status, I don’t know. I can’t speak on it, but I’ve heard it’s not fully [finalized].

“I think Drew McIntyre could work anywhere in the world like he’s proven that before like that’s why WWE wanted him back so badly … the transformation he made he can just work anywhere and do anything with anybody. I think he’d be a major fit in AEW.”

Regarding his own WWE tenure, Swerve made clear that it wasn’t that he was not properly utilized, but just not used to his fullest potential. He said that it could have taken a year to several for that to possibly happening, noting that it took The Usos and Roman Reigns to finally get where they are today.

What Is The Contract Status Of Drew McIntyre?

As of now, Drew McIntyre is not under a new deal with WWE despite the fact that he’s going to be in one of the main event matches at WrestleMania 40 against Seth Rollins. Drew did say that he’s just having fun right now, but a new contract is very important to him. He also added that you’ll see him continue to wrestle for a very long time, whether that be as Drew McIntyre or Drew Galloway, noting “that would get everyone’s attention.”

Please credit “Bootleg Kev” and h/t to SEScoops for the transcription.

Drew McIntyre Reveals The Secret Behind His Recent Success: “Now It’s 100% Me”

WWE superstar Drew McIntyre has found his groove in the company as he heads towards one of the biggest matches of his career. In recent months, McIntyre’s character shift as a ‘heel’ has engaged and entertained wrestling fans on a different level than he has before.

Rather than being a menacing ‘heel’ like he has in the past, ‘The Scottish Warrior’ has centered his persona on being true to himself and speaking his mind. He believes this is what is making him stand out on the roster and encourages others to follow his approach.

“Now It’s 100% Me”

Just two weeks out from his match against WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins at WrestleMania, McIntyre appeared on the Masked Man show and spoke about this evolution.

“Trying to be myself, trying to be logical, trying to have fun and trying to create compelling TV.. and it’s cool that people responded so positively.

Like I said, there was more truth in McIntyre from 2019 to 2023 that I had ever in WWE, but now it’s 100 percent me,” said McIntyre. 

He’s also gotten more comfortable understanding when it’s the right time to escalate his intensity during promos. The veteran encourages other WWE Superstars to find their voice and continue striving to engage the audience.

Social Media Menace 

Another difference in McIntyre’s character is his increased activity on social media. Whether trolling CM Punk or Rollins, McIntyre has created fan engagement off TV and used the same sense of humor in front of a live audience. 

When speaking on his social media presence, ‘The Scottish Warrior’ shared that his sense of humor can be a little darker or meaner than others. McIntyre’s humor helps add to his ‘heel’ character, allowing fans to either adore him or want to see the former champion get what’s coming to him. 

“…I’ve got my ears and eyes open all the time. It’s very much, you know, a collaboration, but again the British personality, British sense of humor is very different than American sense of home. We are highly offensive,” said McIntyre.

Deeper into the process

He acknowledged that how he jokes with his wife or friends might make other people think he doesn’t care for them. However, that is their sense of humor, which makes his social media presence unique. McIntyre credited his friends who have helped him and enhanced his character. 

“I’ve got a couple of buddies, one particular, who collaborators, I guess is the best word, but he’s just my mate, and we just come up with this crazy stuff, and he’s good with the memes and whatever, and we talk crap and make fun of each other, and then it becomes ‘man I should totally say that about such and such’ and If I don’t know the current lingo that the kids are saying, he knows it. He’s a little bit younger,” said McIntyre.

McIntyre also noted that he is constantly looking for new things on social media to use for his wrestling persona on TV. The former champion’s being more of himself has proven successful as he adds more complexity to his character. That said, it is unclear if this will result in him finally defeating Rollins to become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

WWE Contract Quandary: Drew McIntyre Confirms Reports About His Uncertain Future

WWE has a lot of things going on, and contract situations always add a bit of intrigue to any situation. Drew McIntyre is on top of his game, comfortable, and able to perform at a high level every time he steps in the ring. The veteran performer’s future with WWE has a big question mark hovering over it at this point.

Drew McIntyre’s contract situation remains uncertain despite WWE reportedly extending it, adding intrigue to his upcoming WrestleMania 40 title match. McIntyre himself confirmed the ongoing speculation but remains focused on giving his all to WWE, emphasizing his intent to continue performing at his peak.

Drew McIntyre Speaks on WWE Contract Status

Former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre holds significant value within the company. However, recent updates on McIntyre’s contract status have stirred speculation, as while WWE reportedly extended his contract, there’s no confirmation of a new deal, fueling rumors of his potential departure.

With a World Heavyweight Championship match ahead of him at WrestleMania 40, McIntyre is in line for a huge match. That being said, no deal has been inked, so the result of the match may be a very interesting one.

McIntyre revealed on The Ringer’s Masked Men Show that the buzz about his contract status is legit. He has no new deal with WWE at this point, but he intends to continue giving everything he can to WWE because he’s having fun.

“It’s very important to me, having a new contract. It’s been talked about for a very long time on the internet. I’m not the only one whose contract comes up every few years or whatever, but you would think it, reading the internet. There is nothing I can say right now. I can say that I’m having fun. I can say that I intend to continue having fun and I’m in my prime. I’m younger than everyone thinks I am because I’ve been around for such a long time. I have years to go. No matter what, you’ll still see Drew McIntyre wrestling. I can say ‘or Drew Galloway’ and that would get everyone’s attention.”

Drew McIntyre vs CM Punk

Drew McIntryre’s constant jabs at CM Punk have led fans to assume that a new contract will be signed. After all, Punk is out of action with a triceps injury, and his return date isn’t expected until after McIntyre’s current deal expires.

Due to time off, WWE was able to extend McIntyre’s deal until after WrestleMania 40. At this time, it is unknown exactly how much time he has left, but one would assume that he wants that match against CM Punk.

SEScoops will have more on this story, and so much more, in the future. Keep checking back throughout the day for more updates and headlines for the stories you need.

Made Of Glass: Drew McIntyre Worried CM Punk Will Break Again Before Eventual WWE Encounter

CM Punk is out of action with a triceps injury that he sustained during the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble match. Even though he’s out of action, Drew McIntyre is keeping things going in a big way, and he’s not letting go of his disdain for the Second City Savior.

Drew McIntyre recently made it clear that he wants a match against CM Punk. He’s just worried that Punk is made of glass, and he’ll break again before the match can happen.

McIntyre Speaks on Punk

Drew McIntyre’s journey in WWE since his debut on Raw has been marked by remarkable consistency and impressive performances. Despite facing initial setbacks, such as his loss to Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship, McIntyre has since rebounded with determination and resilience.

In the Men’s Royal Rumble match, McIntyre showcased his endurance and skill, making it to the Top 3 contenders. However, a clash with CM Punk resulted in McIntyre’s elimination, albeit with a consequential injury to Punk. As Punk focuses on his recovery, McIntyre has continued to fuel their rivalry, hinting at future storylines and expressing his eagerness for a showdown at SummerSlam.

In a recent interview with the Gorilla Position, McIntyre emphasized his desire for the match while also expressing concern for Punk’s well-being, given his injury-prone history. Reflecting on their past encounter at the Royal Rumble, McIntyre highlighted his dominance in the ring, underscoring his physical prowess and the impact of his performance on Punk.

“Yeah, I just hope he’s careful. Just worried he’s going to injure something else during rehab. Man’s made of glass. I want that match. I really want that match.“

“I’m just concerned for him, especially wrestling someone like me. I’m a freaking monster in there…I got my hands on him. You saw what I did to him at ‘Rumble. I tore him to pieces. I chopped him to bits…[CM] Punk was black and blue. I ended up hurting him in there.”

Drew McIntyre’s Road to WrestleMania and Beyond

As McIntyre prepares for his upcoming title challenge against Seth Rollins at WrestleMania, he isn’t losing focus of Punk. The Scottish Warrior’s current contract situation is also interesting.

McIntyre has not re-signed with WWE. The last report we heard said that is being advertised well past his contract expiration date, but a new deal hasn’t been signed.

With the potential for the World Heavyweight Championship to be involved in McIntyre’s future stories, things are even more interesting. This is especially true if CM Punk may be in McIntyre’s future. After all, CM Punk vs Seth Rollins was the plan for WrestleMania before Punk’s injury got in the way. 

Drew McIntyre Believes Seth Rollins Should Focus On Raw: I Wouldn’t Piss On SmackDown To Put Out A Fire If They Begged Me

Drew McIntyre believes that the top champion of Raw should be focused on their own brand instead of getting involved in stories of other shows.

The Scottish Warrior spoke up about his WrestleMania 40 opponent Seth Rollins in a recent interview with the Gorilla Position podcast. Speaking about Seth and Cody’s partnership, Drew claimed that Rollins should be focused on his own brands while also explaining why Rhodes is a liar:

“I’ve made my feelings pretty clear on the show last week that his focus should be on the World Championship. His focus should be on Raw and he shouldn’t be, one spreading himself so thin but at the same time it seems it’s coming from a selfish place to me.

He was trying to convince Cody to have the match with him, instead of finishing the story which Cody promised everyone he was going to do. The fans were clearly saying ‘We don’t want this. We want Cody to do what he said he was going to do – finish the story’ and I had to physically nudge him in the right direction to make the right decision.

At the same time, he lied to the Rock. He’s wondering why Rock’s being like this. He said you can have this match then he took it away so Cody’s a liar but that’s not my business. Whatever Smackdown, handle it over there.”

Drew McIntyre Doesn’t Care About SmackDown’s Problems

Drew McIntyre then targeted The Architect for lack of focus on the red brand. He proclaimed that things will change under his reign. According to the former champion, he would not piss on SmackDown if the show was on fire, because it’s not his problem:

“Seth should be focused on ‘Okay the world title, get myself healthier, the best match possible, Drew McIntyre.’ It is all about Raw but he can’t help himself. It goes back to the Shield days, [he] has to latch on to whatever’s cool, get that extra spotlight.

Be it Cody’s return, be it the Edge stuff, be it Punk’s return or be it The Rock’s return. Always has to stick his nose into the spotlight, wants that little bit more. [He] doesn’t think about what’s best for the roster, thinks about what’s best for him.

That’s what annoys me and I said it last week, when I’m champion in Raw, it’s gonna be all about Raw, all about my roster on Raw. I don’t care if SmackDown is on fire and they’re on their knees begging for help. I will not pee on them to put that fire out because that’s a them problem. I’m focused on Raw responsibilities as he should be.”

Drew McIntyre will be challenging Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40. You can check out his full interview below:

Drew McIntyre Unknowingly Taught Himself To Lip Read Because Of Hearing Issues

Drew McIntyre has revealed that he has hearing problems and he unknowingly taught himself to read lips because of it.

The former world champion recently had an interview with Gorilla Position to promote his upcoming match against Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40. When asked how he’s feeling before the bout, McIntyre mentioned that the effects from the Elimination Chamber match last month have not worn off completely.

Talking about the perforated eardrum he suffered during the extreme bout, McIntyre disclosed that he has had hearing issues going far back. The Scottish Warrior revealed that he actually taught himself lip reading without even realizing, and explained how he finally found out about it:

“I found out about a year and a half ago from an ear specialist, because I have bad hearing in general,” said Drew McIntyre, “that I taught myself to lip read, which I had no idea.

We did a little test, where he was talking. He had me put my fingers in my ears where I could still hear him, [I] was telling him what he was seeing. He slowly slipped up a piece of paper in front of his face and I was like ‘I can’t hear what you’re saying. you’ve lowered your voice.’ My wife was like ‘He hasn’t, it’s the exact same volume.’

He went ‘Yeah, you’re a smart guy. You’ve just taught yourself to lip-read because you’re hearing so bad.’ [I went] ‘Oh, fantastic.’ Then I got perforated. So I wouldn’t say who it was because I don’t want them to feel bad, but it’s very annoying because I can’t hear jack.”

Despite the injury, Drew McIntyre not only completed the match but went on to win the Elimination Chamber. The victory has earned him an opportunity to challenge Seth Rollins for his World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40 from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia next month.

Drew McIntyre Channels CM Punk’s Infamous Hangman Page Tirade To Call Out Seth Rollins

Drew McIntyre continues to twist the knife in two of his most recent rivals in CM Punk and Seth Rollins 

McIntyre continues to show the manipulative new side of himself with a recent social media post. The Scotsman pulled an old chestnut out of CM Punk’s pocket when stealing a quote from his notorious airing of grievances on Hangman Page during AEW All Out 2022

During the now-famous press conference, Punk laid out his laments on Hangman for going into business for himself in a promo from AEW Dynamite earlier in the year, however, it is McIntyre who repurposed Punk’s words so he to disparage Rollins for not minding his own business on WWE Raw this Monday.

McIntyre headlined WWE Raw this past Monday against Jey Uso. McIntyre took advantage of a distraction by Jimmy Uso to defeat Jey and get another win to follow up his big WWE Elimination Chamber victory.

Post-match, The Bloodline beat down Jey when Seth Rollins ran past McIntyre to make the save.

Ever the opportunist, McIntyre made the most of Rollins’ run-in to save Jey Uso by catching the WWE World Heavyweight Champion with a Claymore Kick. 

Drew is set to challenge Rollins at WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia, but the road still has over a month to go.

Trash Talk Heats Up As Rollins & McIntyre Command WWE WrestleMania 40 Spotlight

Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre’s war of words continued after this week’s Raw and their feud may be the most personal one fans see at WrestleMania 40. 

McIntyre earned a World Heavyweight Championship match by winning the Men’s Elimination Chamber match at WWE Elimination Chamber 2024. This will be the third World Championship match for both men at WrestleMania. The match will mark Rollins’ first title defense as a WWE World Champion at the Showcase of the Immortals. 

A Spotlight Junkie

During this week’s Raw, McIntyre had some choice words for Rollins and declared the World Heavyweight Champion a “spotlight junkie.” McIntyre’s point was that when something big happens, Rollins can usually be found latching on to it. Drew gave several examples including CM Punk’s return to WWE last year, Cody Rhodes’ return to WWE at WrestleMania 38, and his involvement with The Rock’s return and alliance with The Bloodline. 

McIntyre added that Rollins should have been focusing on Monday Night Raw and the World Heavyweight Championship. The Scottish Warrior added that the title in question deserves better than Seth whose life as a ‘junkie’ has also cost the champion physically. 

Seth Rollins Fires Back

Rollins wasn’t going to take the notion that he hasn’t been focused on Raw or the World Heavyweight Championship. In a scathing response made after Raw, Rollins said that he had been working for the last two years to ensure “jackoffs” like McIntyre have a championship to compete for at WrestleMania. 

McIntyre had a response of his own, questioning where this focus has been from the World Heavyweight Champion. 

WWE WrestleMania 40

WWE WrestleMania will take place on April 6, and April 7. The show will be the fifth annual two-night WrestleMania, a tradition that began with the Covid-19 pandemic. The show will also be the first WrestleMania following the launch of TKO Group Holdings last September

Watch: Drew McIntyre Taunts CM Punk Fans With “Victory Lap” After WWE Raw

WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre had some fun after this week’s episode of Raw, at the expense of fans who have rallied behind CM Punk. 

McIntyre has taken credit for CM Punk’s torn triceps injury which will prevent the ex-AEW star from competing at WrestleMania. McIntyre has even gone as far as to say he’s ‘saved’ WrestleMania by ridding the show of Punk, ensuring that Cody Rhodes would win the Men’s Royal Rumble and challenge Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40. 

Drew McIntyre Taunts CM Punk Fans

On this week’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw, McIntyre defeated Jey Uso in the show’s main event. McIntyre would send a message after the match by leveling WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins with a Claymore Kick.

After Raw, McIntyre shared a video as he prepared to leave the area. The Scottish Warrior noticed a gaggle of fans who heavily booed McIntyre. After a CM Punk chant broke out, McIntyre played Punk’s theme to antagonize the crowd. McIntyre found it hilarious as he embarked on his “victory lap” in front of the fans.

What’s Next?

After winning the Men’s Elimination Chamber match in Perth, Australia, McIntyre’s Road to WrestleMania is crystal clear. The Scottish Warrior will challenge World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins at the two-night event this April. On this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw, it was stated that this match will take place on WrestleMania 40: Sunday. 

CM Punk won’t be competing at WrestleMania 40, but they still could still see an appearance from the Best in the World. CM Punk has been advertised for the April 1, go-home episode of WWE Monday Night Raw.

Drew McIntyre Fires Shot at CM Punk: “I’m Keeping Him Relevant”

CM Punk’s return to WWE sparked a wave of excitement from fans, but they only got to see him wrestle at the Royal Rumble before an injury took him out of action. Drew McIntyre believes that he has a lot to do with the reason fans are still talking about the Second City Savior.

Since Punk’s injury, Drew McIntyre has continued to throw shade at him. He even put out a t-shirt, where he was photoshopped posing over Punk’s grave. If you ask The Scottish Warrior, that relevancy CM Punk is seeing is all thanks to him.

Drew Makes Bold Claim

In recent weeks, McIntyre has taunted CM Punk through his WWE Raw promos and social media posts. All of this led fans to speculate that he will actually re-sign with the company, even though his contract is set to expire prior to Punk’s return.

During his appearance on WWE The Bump, McIntyre discussed his jabs at CM Punk. When questioned about whether he was being too harsh, the former WWE Champion responded that Punk should express gratitude for the attention, stating, “I think Punk and everyone should be thanking me. All his fans should be thanking me because I’m the one keeping him relevant right now by constantly talking about him.”

McIntyre also provided an update on his ear after mentioning a blown eardrum at WWE Elimination Chamber. Reiterating his comments from the February 26 episode of WWE Raw, he assured that the injury wouldn’t sideline him for WrestleMania, adding, “I might be hurt, but who do you think I am, CM Punk? It’s not gonna take me out the game.” 

He acknowledged the frustration of compromised hearing but humorously noted that it seemed to enhance his other senses. It seems that McIntyre’s quick wit is not injured one bit.

What’s Next For Drew McIntyre

We will have to see what is going to happen with CM Punk and Drew McIntyre. The two seem destined to throw down in some fashion. Hopefully, WWE and Drew can figure out their contract issues and get something official very soon.

Drew will take on Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40 for the World Heavyweight Championship. That will be a fantastic opportunity for him at the showcase of the immortals, and only time will tell what is after that. A lot of things with McIntyre seem to be pending on his contract situation at this point. 

Drew McIntyre Teases The Return Of His ‘Broken Dreams’ WWE Theme Music

Drew McIntyre says wrestling fans who want WWE to bring back his classic ‘Broken Dreams’ theme music should raise the issue with his boss, Triple H.

McIntyre appeared on WWE digital series The Bump this week and fielded some questions sent in by fans. When asked about the possibility of ‘Broken Dreams’ making a return, McIntyre revealed it’s a question he receives on a daily basis.

“Wow, that’s the first time I’ve ever heard that question, ever,” McIntyre quipped. “I get that question literally every day. Be it social media or be it in person or every interview I do which is countless. I’m always asked about it, we had a little tease at Clash at the Castle.”

Encouraging fans to memorize the lyrics in anticipation, McIntyre referenced Cody Rhodes’ memorable line to Roman Reigns regarding learning the lyrics to his theme song Kingdom. McIntyre issued a similar challenge to fans:

“The cool thing about it [Broken Dreams] was the fans singing along. As I knew they would, because they’ve talked about it for so long. And I always tell everybody to learn the lyrics to Broken Dreams because when it happens you better know them.”

While contemplating the possibility of a WrestleMania surprise, McIntyre talked about the alignment of the theme with his current character trajectory.

“It’d be cool to get a little teaser at ‘Mania. I don’t know if it sits the character right now or if it sits me right now. I love the war drums.”

However, he urged fans to redirect their inquiries about Broken Dreams to WWE executive Triple H.

“But instead of tagging me, start tagging Triple H constantly. He’s made it very clear on the show that he’s the man in charge, so tag his arse to death.”

Drew McIntyre won the men’s 2024 Elimination Chamber match to earn the right to challenge Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight championship at WrestleMania 40.

Drew McIntyre Dunks on Logan Paul For Trying To Cut Down His WWE RAW Promo

Drew McIntyre is never one to hold back his opinions, especially as his current WWE character is prone to let things loose on the mic, and that carries over onto social media as well.

Logan Paul recently tried to mock McIntyre with a video on TikTok, one where he dissected the Scottish Warrior’s promo on WWE RAW this week, but McIntyre knew how to handle things in a big way.

Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul’s Battle on Social Media

Logan Paul dropped a TikTok video where he roasted Drew McIntyre’s promo on RAW. He dismissed McIntyre’s claims that he was standing at the end of the Chamber match, because he ended the match while still selling a high-risk move from Logan.

It didn’t take very long for Drew McItnrye to see that post from Logan Paul. He responded to throw LP under the bus, while referring to Jake Paul as the smarter of the two brothers.

I see your brother got all the talent and the brains. Admittedly, it’s a very low bar.

Interestingly enough, Randy Orton also shaded Logan prior to the Elimination Chamber event by calling him by his brother’s name. In the end, Logan cost The Apex Predator the Chamber match, but they had a little social media battle before the event even started.

Logan Paul and Randy Orton are now set to throw down at WrestleMania 40 with the United States Title on the line.

Logan Paul and Nina Agdal

LP and Nina Adgal were engaged to be married last year, and that brought a storm of insults from Dillon Dannis to hype their fight in Manchester. That fight almost went the distance, and in the end, Paul won after chaos broke out at the end of the boxing match.

Although Logan avenged his fiancé’s pride in that Danis fight, things certainly got ugly online as Danis shared a ton of content to troll the Danish model. Agdal sought and obtained a temporary restraining order instructing Danis to cease posting “sexually explicit photographs” of her “on the internet without her consent.” In her complaint, she further claims that he shared a sexually explicit photograph that was not intended for public dissemination or was “acquired without consent.”

On a related note, Triple H also asked Logan Paul not to do the nasty in his WWE United States Title. It seems that the Maverick has respected this request, and he is still holding onto that title to this day.
