5 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 5 we hope aren't: Vince McMahon 'ending' RAW star's push, Reason why WWE 'needs' Rollins to lose the Universal title

#2. Hope is true: Vince McMahon still wants to make Drew McIntyre a World Champion

Drew McIntyre had a slight slip down the card in late 2018 and early 2019. People were quick to conclude that because he hasn't been as prominently featured as before, it probably means that Vince McMahon is done with him again.

According to Tom Colohue, this couldn't be further from the truth. He said:

Everything I have heard about Drew McIntyre has been very positive backstage. They are thoroughly behind him. Vince McMahon still wants to make him a world champion. He wants him to be the chosen one and essentially prove himself right from twelve years ago. I still see that happening.

He even stated that prior to his illness, there were plans in place for McIntyre to win the entire King of the Ring tournament.

I’m hearing he was supposed to win King of the Ring, get his championship opportunity right afterwards as an end result for winning the tournament, which is of course what originally happened with the tournament."

We hope this is true because McIntyre is still the future of the company and has a lot of potential to be fulfilled. He's still one of the most exciting names in WWE long-term.
