Drew McIntyre: Movie Star
We have another sign that Drew McIntyre likely won’t be in WWE for at least the next month or so.
This one came from PWInsider’s Mike Johnson, who passed along that “McIntyre has been pulled from FanaticsFest” in New York City July 16-19 because he’ll be busy filming The Last Druid. Not long after Drew was announced for that Roman Empire-set action-thriller starring Russell Crowe, a rumor hit that he would miss SummerSlam.
Not only does the FanaticsFest news support that rumor — if he’s not around the third weekend in July, that doesn’t leave Triple H and team much time to set something up for McIntyre at the Biggest Party of the Summer Aug. 1-2 in Minneapolis, but Johnson says the former WWE champ has already landed a role in “a third feature film role later this year”.
Is the 41-year-old Scotsman following in John Cena and Dave Bautista’s footsteps a little quicker than WWE and wrestling fans thought he would? Are their WWE stories or accomplishments that could convince him to be around more? We may be talking about that more seriously if McIntyre keeps lining up movie gigs.
