Following his victory over Jinder Mahal at WWE SummerSlam, it’s not quite clear what’s next for Drew McIntyre.
The former WWE Champion can’t challenge the current titleholder, Bobby Lashley, due to the sitpulation of his defeat in their match at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view. As a result, his next chapter is seemingly up in the air.
In an interview with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated ,McIntyre expressed his excitement for whatever comes next and teased a potential clash with WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns.
“I’m excited to see what comes next,” said McIntyre. “It was cool on Raw to be involved with Damian Priest, Lashley and Sheamus, who are three highly physical athletes. I want to set the tone for physicality in WWE, and I’m excited for the next story. That’s what people feel and touches emotions. I’m looking for something good, and if it’s Roman, I hope he’s ready.”
The WWE Draft is right around the corner, and this shake-up could pave the way for McIntyre to resume his brief feud with “The Tribal Chief.” Reigns defeated McIntyre in a major match at WWE Survivor Series last year. In the interview, McIntyre acknowledged that crossing paths with “The Head of the Table” again is inevitable, and when it does happen, it’ll be “big.”
