5 WWE Superstars who had a disappointing year

#4 Former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre could have had a better year

Drew McIntyre is a invaluable asset to WWE.

The inclusion of Drew McIntyre on this list may seem confusing to some WWE fans, but 2021 wasn't nearly as memorable for the Scottish Psychopath as the preceding year was.

McIntyre started the year off with the most prestigious title in wrestling history, but he lost the championship to The Miz in February after a vicious assault by Bobby Lashley. Although he didn't become a complete afterthought, McIntyre lost much of the dominance and invincibility that was associated with his intriguing character. In the months following the loss, The Scottish Warrior lost quite a lot of steam and slowly fell down the pecking order.

Despite numerous attempts, McIntyre couldn't reclaim the top prize in sports-entertainment. He then entered into a rivalry with Jinder Mahal, whom he defeated convincingly at SummerSlam. The two-time World Champion then unsuccessfully challenged Big E for the coveted title at Crown Jewel.

A move to SmackDown gave McIntyre a fresh start and opened up a myriad of opportunities. However, he has stayed aloof from the Universal Championship picture thus far, keeping himself occupied with Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss.

2021 wasn't exactly a "bad" year for the Scottish Warrior, but it does pale in comparison to the amazing 2020 he had.
