Let’s take a look at four possible directions for Drew McIntyre after losing his title:
#4. Walks away from Friday Night SmackDown
For weeks, Drew McIntyre has been voicing his frustrations with WWE Officials, referees and Nick Aldis about how he has always been treated unfairly. The Scottish Warrior losing the Undisputed WWE Championship may take a toll on his morale and break him emotionally. He may therefore decide to walk away from the company and go on a self-imposed exile.
McIntyre could completely disappear into the shadows and remain away from television for a few weeks to process the emotional fallout of his defeat. However, he could come back on SmackDown just in time for WrestleMania 42. The Scottish Warrior could then get involved in the build of his upcoming match, potentially against Jacob Fatu, for The Show of Shows.
#3. Immediately starts a feud with Jacob Fatu
One of the main reasons Drew McIntyre lost the Undisputed WWE Championship was Jacob Fatu’s interference. Therefore, the 40-year-old now has a bone to pick with the latter. He could immediately embark on a heated feud with Fatu on Friday Night SmackDown. McIntyre could become completely unhinged and unleash havoc on The Samoan Werewolf.
The two superstars could officially kick off their singles feud next week on SmackDown. With WrestleMania 42 on the horizon, WWE might not delay it any further. This would detach Drew McIntyre from the Undisputed WWE Championship picture and put him in his grueling rivalry with Jacob Fatu, leading all the way to The Show of Shows.
#2. Gets suspended indefinitely for laying hands on referee
Another possible direction for Drew McIntyre following his title loss is him getting suspended from SmackDown. During the championship match last night, McIntyre’s frustration reached a point where he snapped and knocked out the match referee, Dan Engler, with a vicious headbutt. He could face repercussions for his actions as a result.
Nick Aldis could suspend The Scottish Warrior indefinitely for laying his hands on a WWE official. It marked the second time the latter attacked Dan Engler. Therefore, the General Manager could also impose a hefty fine on the former champion for his actions. As a result, Drew could remain on hiatus for 2-3 weeks before returning once again to Friday Night SmackDown.
#1. Drew McIntyre may start a feud with Nick Aldis
Drew McIntyre could cite Nick Aldis as one of the major reasons for his championship loss. It is because he was forced to defend his title on SmackDown despite his unwillingness. There is a good possibility that McIntyre could go after the General Manager, fuming in rage. He could start a brief feud with the latter, vowing to make Aldis’ life a living hell.
While this feud may not lead anywhere, The Scottish Warrior could continue to create trouble for the GM week after week. He could make SmackDown a breeding ground of chaos, wreaking havoc on the brand. Who knows, Drew McIntyre could even end up attacking Nick Aldis. However, this could eventually lead to his feud with Jacob Fatu.
