WWE: Drew McIntyre should be getting booked better
Drew McIntyre is in the mist of his second run. His first run was from 2009-2014. During that run, he claimed the IC belt once and held the tag belts once. However, he became stale towards the end and ended up being released from his contract. In his time away from the WWE, he worked for companies like ICW, Evolve, and Impact. He reinvented himself to the point that he was looking and acting differently. At Takeover: Orlando, he was shown in the front row. Later on in an interview with ESPN, it was confirmed that Drew McIntyre had resigned with the WWE. He would end up reporting to NXT.
Within the first six months, he was challenging Bobby Roode for the NXT title. A feud with Almas would lead to a title match at WarGames. Almas would end up winning the belt after it revealed that Drew McIntyre had injured himself. After not seeing him on TV for a few months, we would see him again aligned with Dolph Ziggler. This lead the duo to win the Raw tag belts. Then they broke up and Drew McIntyre had no direction. Then, for some odd reason, he began to help Shane McMahon.
I feel the WWE isn’t using him right. I understand what they did with him and Ziggler, they used it to reintroduce him to the WWE Universe. But him and Shane McMahon make no sense. If I were booking him, I’d book him as the top heel on Raw. He has the look, can talk well on a microphone, and can be a believable champion. The fact that he hasn’t even sniffed the main event of Raw is confusing.
He is one of many superstars assigned to Raw and are being used poorly. Other guys include Eric Young, EC3, and Bobby Lashley as some other guys not being used the right way. Somehow Baron Corbin is higher on the card than Drew McIntyre.
