Drew McIntyre has now become a huge star in the company and has been heavily featured in the main event matches. He is a former two-time WWE Champion and was the face of the company during the pandemic era as the WWE Champion. However, he has not been this huge since his previous stint in the company.
McIntyre was previously released from WWE back in 2014. He made a name for himself in the independent circuit and other promotions and returned to the company in 2017. Jimmy Uso Reveals How Much Beer He Drank
Drew McIntyre opines released stars to follow his path
Several stars including Lana, Braun Strowman, Ruby Riott were released recently. The Scottish Warrior recently spoke to the International Business Times, and discussed the releases.
McIntyre stated that the release is a huge opportunity and the stars should work hard. They could even follow the same route as McIntyre and eventually return to WWE. He said:
“It is a huge opportunity. That’s the way I look at it. Perhaps some of the superstars that were released weren’t particularly happy with their position. Now, they have an opportunity to go out there and reinvent themselves and the world’s opening back up.
I was so fortunate that when I was released from the WWE, that’s exactly what my mindset was–I’m gonna put the image out that I see myself as, as opposed to what others see me as. Thankfully, it caught on. I was given a lot of opportunities outside of WWE to make my name and it brought me back to WWE and to the top of the mountain.
There are so many talented individuals that just got released. They can do exactly the same [as I did]. If they’ve got the work ethic and the passion, they’re gonna make it happen and I’ll see them all again one day.
McIntyre is set to compete in the Money In The Bank ladder match later this month and will certainly eye to retrieve the briefcase for a shot at championship gold.
