Drew McIntyre has been one of the biggest talking points in WWE recently. Even after losing the Undisputed WWE Championship, the Scottish star continues to stay in the spotlight as fans discuss what could be next for him.
The former champion dropped the title to Cody Rhodes on a recent episode of SmackDown. The match served as the main event of the show and had a huge impact on the road to WrestleMania 42.
Many rumors began circulating online after the loss, with some reports suggesting that McIntyre might leave WWE after WrestleMania. However, new information has now clarified the situation.
Cody Rhodes Regains the Championship
Cody Rhodes finally reclaimed the Undisputed WWE Championship in the SmackDown main event. The victory came after weeks of tension between Rhodes and McIntyre.
During the match, Jacob Fatu played a major role by distracting McIntyre at a crucial moment. This distraction allowed Rhodes to take advantage and secure the victory.
The result changed the WrestleMania picture significantly. Despite not winning the Royal Rumble or the Elimination Chamber match, Cody Rhodes still managed to earn a rematch and take back the championship.
Rhodes is now scheduled to defend the title against Randy Orton in the main event of WrestleMania 42 Night One.
Rumors About Drew McIntyre Leaving WWE
After the title loss, social media rumors quickly spread claiming that Drew McIntyre could leave WWE after WrestleMania 42.
One post on Facebook suggested that the Scottish star would exit the company following the big event. This rumor gained attention among fans and created speculation about his future.
However, wrestling journalist Sean Ross Sapp from Fightful addressed the claim and confirmed that the report was not true.
According to him, there are currently no confirmed plans for McIntyre to leave WWE.
Possible Match at WrestleMania 42
While McIntyre may not be competing for the championship at WrestleMania 42, he could still play a major role at the event.
Reports suggest that he may face Jacob Fatu in a high-profile match.
The rivalry between the two stars has been building for months. Their storyline began after Fatu was mysteriously attacked last year, which created tension between both competitors.
If the match takes place, it could become one of the most intense battles on the WrestleMania card.
Drew McIntyre Planning a Short Break
Although McIntyre is not leaving WWE, he is expected to take a short break after WrestleMania 42.
According to reports, the Scottish Warrior will step away from television to work on a film project. He is reportedly set to begin filming for the upcoming movie “Highlander.”
The production schedule means that McIntyre will need time away from the wrestling ring once WrestleMania is over.
Taking breaks for movie roles has become more common in WWE as several superstars explore opportunities in Hollywood.
