Though Drew McIntyre already has his big match lined up at WrestleMania 40, throwing down with Seth Rollins in one of his two matches of the weekend for the World Heavyweight Championship, the one match WWE fans want to see more than any other is the “Scottish Warrior” versus CM Punk, the “Second City Saint” […]

After watching Seth Rollins take swing after swing at the biggest, baddest faction in all of professional wrestling, The Bloodline, since Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson made his triumphant return at RAW Day 1, it’s hard not to forget that he’s technically set to face-off against Drew McIntyre at the “Showcase of the Immortals,” marking their […]

When it comes to RAW, there are three performers who stand at the top of the card, vying for the title and designation of the brand’s top spot on the card: Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, and Cody Rhodes, who is technically wrestling for the top title on SmackDown at WrestleMania 40 but curiously remains on […]

With WrestleMania 40 rapidly approaching, the WWE Universe has seen a number of its top babyfaces coming together in the pursuit of taking down The Bloodline for good, with Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins vowing to band together in an effort to end Roman Reigns’ time at the top of the card once and for […]

Though they should technically be focused on each other in the lead-up to WrestleMania 40, as they are technically set to face off for the World Heavyweight Championship, Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins just can’t seem to help themselves: they really hate CM Punk. Afforded chances to talk wrestling in the lead-up to WrestleMania, with […]

After watching Drew McIntyre cut an absolutely insane promo on CM Punk at the top of RAW‘s third hour, making light of the “Second City Saint’s” injuries before celebrating his decision to drink in the notoriously straight edge Superstar’s honor, fans in San Jose, California, were treated to a special moment when the “Scottish Warrior” […]

After securing his biggest win in recent memory at the Elimination Chamber in Perth, Australia, Drew McIntyre made his triumphant stateside return in San Jose, California, where he was afforded a sizeable segment of RAW’s third hour to speak his mind about the match, his future, WrestleMania 40… and CM Punk. What, did you think […]

In the penultimate match of the Elimination Chamber, WWE decided to set history aside to run the Men’s Elimination Chamber match third on the four-match card, tipping the cap to Rhea Ripley for helping to sell some 50,000 tickets to her countrymen in Perth. An unusual decision? You bet; the star power of the men’s […]

Drew McIntyre hasn’t been lucky when he was trying to win any gold in the past year, and although he has remained a relevant figure in the WWE main event scene, his lack of gold is reflected in his new WWE 2K24 ratings. His new 89 OVR Rating is the lowest he’s had since the […]

The WWE 2K24 Ratings Reveal season continues as we get the OVR ratings of the Judgment Day’s Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, and Damian Priest. Although they haven’t been involved in the major storyline heading into WrestleMania XL, the Judgment Day remains one of the most dominant factions in WWE. Yesterday, UpUpDownDown revealed the WWE 2K24 […]

Though he’s officially been out of action for the better part of a month now following a torn triceps at the 2024 Royal Rumble, CM Punk remains a hot topic of conversation heading into the “Road to WrestleMania,” with Drew McIntyre refusing to go a week without trashing the “Second City Saint.” Now granted, some […]

If there’s one word to describe Drew McIntyre‘s current character within the WWE Universe, it’s got to be a hater. A certified bad boy who has cashed in his babyface credentials after a series of frustrating come-up-shorts for a very 2024 take on being a heel, McIntyre has fully taken advantage of all of the […]

Drew McIntyre is an absolute menace. Since fully throwing aside the idea of being a babyface in favor of embracing a new gimmick as the WWE Universe’s biggest hater, McIntyre has rapidly become one of the more entertaining personalities on RAW or SmackDown, using his expansive on-mic time to talk about, well, pretty much anyone […]

One year ago, Sami Zayn was on top of the WWE Universe. He’d just experienced a dramatic breakup with the hottest faction in professional wrestling, The Bloodline, was set to compete in the biggest match of his career in a hometown throwdown with Roman Reigns at the Elimination Chamber in his hometown, and was slowly […]

As fans pass through one of the most interesting moments in WWE’s seven decades of existence, with generational news seemingly breaking on a weekly basis, if there’s one thing the promotion desperately wants outside observers to focus on above all of the resignations, scandals, and backstage politicking, it’s that fans really want Cody Rhodes to […]

When news broke that Sami Zayn was going to be out of action for reasons both personal and Kayfabe following an “injury” at the hands of Drew McIntyre, it left a hole at the top of the RAW card. Now sure, technically, RAW had more main event caliber performers than they knew what to do […]

When news broke that CM Punk had suffered a triceps injury at the Royal Rumble that would not only require surgery but would keep him out of action for an expected 4-6 months, it effectively changed the entire trajectory of the WWE Universe moving forward. Suddenly, one of the two expected main event matches of […]

After getting into it on the microphone with Cody Rhodes and CM Punk over the past few weeks, it’s understandable that Drew McIntyre is feeling like he’s being attacked from all angles heading into the final RAW before the Royal Rumble. Now firmly out of the realm of being a babyface, with the line between […]

Drew McIntyre has been a member of the WWE Universe during this current run for almost seven years, returning at the 2017 NXT Takeover: Orlando and remaining a member of the promotion ever since. Freed from the “Chosen One” moniker that made him into a maligned persona during his first run with the company, McIntyre […]

After starting off RAW as only he can, with a big, flashy promo meant to pander to the local crowd, Cody Rhodes found himself interrupted by Drew McIntyre, who decided to interrupt his former Dashing Ones tag team partner in order to go down memory lane… and establish the pecking order for the RAW men’s […]

When Drew McIntyre was working his way up through the WWE ranks, CM Punk was a workhorse. A strong, charismatic performer with a collection of fans who loved his authenticity and in-ring grit, Punk was a hero to many, despised by a few, and the kind of performer developing young stars could look to as […]

After coming up short again against Seth Rollins with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line, Drew McIntyre was at a crossroads. Would the Scottish heavyweight reconsider his plans, turning his attention to the Intercontinental Championship or seeking out a tag team partner to go after his former friends in Judgment Day? Or would […]

When it comes to RAW, no performer is a more wanted man than Seth Rollins. The proud holder of the top title on the red brand, the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, Rollins has Drew McIntyre on the books for a match at Day 1, CM Punk vowing to win the Royal Rumble in order to […]

Drew McIntyre is at a very interesting spot in his professional wrestling career. After falling into a bit of a rut following the end of his two WWE Championship runs, McIntyre has embraced his carnal desires for success without the limits of a babyface’s moral code, doing whatever he needs to in order to get […]

On Monday Night RAW, Drew McIntyre let it be known that he has absolutely no interest in sharing a locker room with CM Punk. Sure, Punk is popular, and sure, he’s already signed to WWE, meaning they would be co-workers one way or another, but if the “Scottish Warrior” had his say – which clearly […]

Drew McIntyre doesn’t like CM Punk. Now granted, that isn’t a unique to him feature of the WWE Universe, as Seth Rollins’ new character is basically the number one CM Punk hater, but if you think back to Survivor Series, before the “Visionary” threw up the double birds and cursed out the “Saint” within his […]

The final week of November has been anything but drama-free for Seth Rollins. First, he had to worry about finding a final partner for his WarGames match at Survivor Series, then he had to hope that Randy Orton actually showed up, and then, just when it looked like everything was chill, he had to deal […]

While much of, if not the majority of the WWE Universe was excited to see CM Punk make his surprise return at Survivor Series, one such name that fell into the minority was one of the promotion’s biggest stars, Seth Rollins, who stared angrily at the “Best in the World” before cursing out the returning […]

The fallout from WWE’s latest Survivor Series is still being felt across pro wrestling with the return of CM Punk after a tumultuous last year with AEW. It appears not all in WWE are happy about the straight-edge superstar’s return though, with Drew McIntryre reportedly being on that list due to storming out after the […]

After watching Cody Rhodes make his not-so-surprising return at the Royal Rumble, Roman Reigns keep his title reign alive at WrestleMania, and Jey Uso come up just short of being named the new Undisputed Universal Champion at SummerSlam, the WWE Universe has officially made its return to Chicago, Illinois, for Survivor Series, the final Big […]

When Drew McIntyre turned heel mere weeks before Survivor Series, it turned heads around the WWE Universe. Sure, McIntyre was shading in that direction for some time, as he’d become increasingly upset with how his beef with The Bloodline was being treated by the rest of the RAW locker room, but by turning on Seth […]

When Drew McIntyre threw his proverbial hat into the ring with Rhea Ripley, Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh, and the rest of Judgment Day at the end of Finn Balor and Damian Priest’s Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship match against Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso, it sent ripples through the WWE Universe ahead of Survivor Series. […]

After coming up just short of his ultimate goal in an impromptu WWE World Heavyweight Championship match with Seth Rollins on Monday Night RAW, Sami Zayn found himself in the awkward position of having to set any animosity aside in order to work with the Cody Rhodes’ babyface faction against the Judgment Day, a bit […]

When WWE announced that Seth Rollins was going to wrestle Drew McIntyre for the World Heavyweight Championship in the opening match of Crown Jewel, it became clear rather quickly that the “Visionary” was going to have to fight two battles in Saudi Arabia, one against the “Scottish Warrior,” and another at the end of the […]

Drew McIntyre has been a member of the WWE Universe, at least this go around, since 2017, when he parlayed a revolutionary run on the indies into an impressive run through NXT and a return to the main roster at the Royal Rumble 2019. Since making his fateful return in 2019, McIntyre has won hundreds […]

On paper, Seth Rollins should be at the top of the professional wrestling world; he’s the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, holds the top spot on the PWI Top-500, and at just 38, is at the height of his athletic abilities in the squared-circle. And yet, pretty much since he won the belt in Riyadh, Saudi […]

After listening to Drew McIntyre deliver an impassioned speech about the pain he felt winning the WWE Championship at the Performance Center in 2020 without the exultation of fans cheering him on to victory against the “Beast Incarnate,” Brock Lesnar, Seth Rollins marched down to the ring for his tune-up match against JD McDonagh ahead […]

With Crown Jewel rapidly approaching, Drew McIntyre was afforded one final chance to address the WWE Universe before he takes the ring against Seth Rollins for his most important match since 2020, the year everything changed for him in more ways than one. Though McIntyre remains insistent on the fact that he has no ill […]

When Lyra Valkyria, the plucky 27-year-old babyface from Dublin, Ireland, was booked for a main event match against Becky Lynch, the 36-year-old veteran babyface from Limerick, Ireland, it felt like nothing more than a pair of fellow countrymen attempting to put each other over. Sure, Valkyria can certainly go, as she’d already held four titles […]
