More Backstage News on WWE Pushing Drew McIntyre


-- On the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, it was stated that WWE is going all out to protect Drew McIntyre as WWE sees big potential in him from the day they got him back into the company. He has a good look, a great physique, can wrestle well and is strong on the mic - basically he checks off all the boxes that matter to Vince McMahon.

-- It was added that the plan for McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler was to mimic the Shawn Michaels-Diesel alliance from the 90s. With the Michaels/Diesel combo, the aim was to lead into a main event push for Diesel which is what the idea is for McIntyre though he is obviously stronger than Kevin Nash (Diesel) in multiple aspects. Ultimately, the hope is that McIntyre can turn into a superstar who can carry the company in the future.
