Since the fall of 2023, WWE fans have seen a major shift in the character of Drew McIntyre, starting with a slow burn heel turn and into his current character on television.
This change in Drew McIntyre’s character started to take shape as Triple H took over creative in WWE.
Appearing on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Drew McIntyre discussed the changes within WWE and new creative freedoms afforded to him and others under the new regime. He said:
“It’s all across the board, with the new management coming in, new creative process, Hunter kinda leading the ship and giving a lot of people, basically everybody, but specifically those that have been there for a minute the chance to ‘Hey if you’ve got more to show, then show it. ‘This is your chance, there’s no wrong answers, go for it and if it fails it’s on you.’”
“I’m willing to take a wrist slap, a fining, a firing to be true to myself, and the relationship I have now with creative, they know the character because it’s essentially just me with the volume turned up
“When it comes to the CM Punk stuff especially, because I can’t stand the guy, it’s easy.”
“But it’s awesome, and to see across the board, not just for myself just how many characters have stepped up and standing out right now, and Raw is a lot easier to watch.”
“Three hours is still a lot, but it’s a lot easier to digest these days, the show flows so well there’s so many popular characters it’s amazing to see wrestling so healthy and thriving.”
Drew McIntyre last wrestled in a loss to CM Punk in a Strap Match at WWE Bash In Berlin, but would get revenge just days later on Raw when he attacked Punk and sent him away in an ambulance.
