Drew McIntyre is rumored for a huge matchup at WrestleMania 39

The Scottish Warrior may be excited to play WWE 2K23, but his focus will be entirely on WrestleMania 39.

Rumors have since circulated that Drew McIntyre could be on a collision course with Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship at the Showcase of the Immortals, a match that could potentially include Sheamus.

The former WWE Champion did have a decent run in the Royal Rumble match a few weeks ago but would eventually get tossed by Gunther. This perfectly sets up his potential showdown with The Ring General in a singles contest at some point.

The Celtic Warrior and McIntyre have been teaming up together on weekly television over the last couple of months. The duo have been dubbed 'The Banger Bros.' The former world champions have also been involved in a feud against The Viking Raiders.

It remains to be seen what is in store for the duo at The Show of Shows.
