    Disappointing Update On WWE’s Drew McIntyre

    AdminBy No Comments3 Mins Read0 Views


    WWE is headed towards The Biggest Party of The Summer, and there’s a disappointing update on Drew McIntyre before the promotion reaches Minnesota for the two-night spectacle.

    Earlier this year, Drew McIntyre was the Undisputed WWE Champion and lost the title to Cody Rhodes on an episode of SmackDown before WrestleMania 42. Instead of a title rematch, McIntyre shifted his attention towards Jacob Fatu, and the two went all out in an Unsanctioned match, which The Samoan Werewolf won in Nevada.

    After the loss, McIntyre went on hiatus as he was busy fulfilling his commitments to the Highlander reboot. According to a report from Self Made Session, the three-time WWE Champion and the one-time World Heavyweight Champion will miss The Biggest Party of the Summer in Minnesota come August 2026.

    While the report doesn’t provide an update on when McIntyre will be back on the weekly product, missing the event seems likely, as he was recently cast in a Hollywood project alongside Russell Crowe. It’ll be interesting to see when The Scottish Warrior returns to WWE for another run.

    Drew McIntyre supports controversial WWE decision

    The company has drastically changed under its new regime, and TKO Group Holdings has made some decisions that haven’t received the utmost support from the wrestlers or the audience watching the product at home. One of the biggest complaints under the new regime was the reduced number of house shows taking place on WWE’s main roster.

    Earlier, house shows were quite common in a week, as they helped superstars polish their skills and develop chemistry with other stars in the ring before they appeared on the weekly product or any premium live event. However, it also increased the number of injuries on the roster as superstars often put their bodies on the line.

    Speaking on The Bobby Cast, the multi-time world champion vouched for the reduced number of house shows, as it allows him to heal and train properly for any high-profile match. Moreover, he thinks talent was getting hurt more often, and it didn’t benefit the company.

    While McIntyre’s take is accurate, he’s a veteran in the industry and doesn’t need to work multiple matches in a week. However, new stars do need house shows, as it helps them get better in the ring against their opponents before a massive show or a premium live event.
