1) The Reason For Drew McIntyre’s Recent Push
According to journalist Tom Colohue, Drew McIntyre’s recent push on RAW is for a few different reasons.
This includes him gaining more trust with WWE brass. It also has to do with WWE’s new deal with BT Sport. Here is what Colohue wrote:
Sources indicate that McIntyre’s new freedom on the microphone is down to an increased confidence with management, including Raw Executive Director Paul Heyman.
However, I am told that the driving force behind this renewed push is not Heyman but a decision taken to push a British talent on the WWE’s flagship program in order to highlight the new BT Sport deal.
BT Sport took over the broadcast of WWE programming at the beginning of the year and presented their inaugural No Filter program recently. McIntyre is one of the names most heavily featured in the product. This is as a way of establishing what will be more air time as a means to connect more clearly with a UK audience.
My Take:
- McIntyre is a favorite in my eyes to win the Royal Rumble match. He would definitely make for a solid challenger for Brock Lesnar and the WWE Title at Wrestlemania 36. I am a McIntyre fan and would like to see him get a World Title run at some point.
