Since the shocking announcement by Roman Reigns two weeks ago on Monday Night RAW, there’s a big gap left to fill at the top of WWE’s roster for the red brand that looks like will be occupied by Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose and Braun Strowman for the immediate future.

There is another Superstar that many fans feel could also step up and take a top spot, ‘The Scottish Psychopath’ Drew McIntyre. If you remember, it was reported back in May that WWE Chairman Vince McMahon was “high” on McIntyre’s future prospects to be a main event talent and according to one report, the start of a huge push for the former NXT Champion has already started.

In picking up a surprising submission victory over WWE Hall Of Famer Kurt Angle on RAW this week, Mike Johnson reported on PWInsider Elite that the win was meant to be a “statement” that McIntyre is a top guy, comparing it to when Brock Lesnar defeated Hulk Hogan on SmackDown in 2002 when he was on his way towards the main event scene.

Additionally, the WrestleVotes Twitter account (who broke the story of McMahon being high on McIntyre) reports that there are big plans in store for Drew in 2019, also seconding Mike Johnson’s report that McIntyre’s push is underway:

WWE has been high on Drew McIntyre for months now. The big push is indeed starting. They have major plans for him in 2019. https://t.co/TBQo3gHJRa

EA’s Take: Let the masses rejoice! Most everybody I’ve spoken with that has some sort of sense about the inner workings of this circus we call wrestling have all said Drew’s got “it” (at least the ones I respect). WWE saw it in him during his previous run, but he was just far too young and had an incident beyond his control affect his position (thanks Taryn Terrell!). He’s about to be the poster boy for leaving the company and coming back a whole new man however and I for one, am excited to see Drew get a great run. When you’ve been watching for as long as someone like myself, I’ll take something fresh anytime.
