Drew McIntyre has been a hot topic lately, especially after walking out of the Royal Rumble. His disappointment with his WrestleMania 41 plans has only fueled more speculation. After receiving criticism from fans, WWE is now reportedly rethinking McIntyres opponent for WrestleMania 41 and may adjust their plans to better meet fan expectations.
According to a report by Chris Featherstone, WWE officials are having internal discussions about changing Drew McIntyres WrestleMania 41 opponent. Sources within the company noted that the online backlash surrounding McIntyres rumored match has led to a reevaluation of current plans.
Previous reports indicated that WWE originally planned for Drew McIntyre to face Damian Priest at WrestleMania 41, a decision that reportedly frustrated McIntyre. However, following fan backlash, WWE is now considering a change.
There is growing speculation that WWE might pivot to a match between McIntyre and LA Knight, someone that McIntyre had issues with recently. Of course, things have smoothed over now and Drew McIntyre is perfectly fine with LA Knight.
Drew McIntyre wasted no time making an impact during theFebruary 7th edition of Friday Night SmackDownas he beat LA Knight and Jimmy Uso to qualify for the Mens Elimination Chamber match as well. Therefore, we will have to wait and see if he will end up squaring off against LA Knight at WrestleMania 41, as anything could happen.
