Drew McIntyre has seen his fair share of ups and downs in WWE. Once an enhancement talent who used to lose matches left, right and centre, McIntyre is currently the face of WWE and is the company's top Champion. McIntyre won the Intercontinental title during his first run in WWE, way back in 2009. He was a part of the SmackDown brand at the time. McIntyre parted ways with WWE in 2014 and came back three years later.

He defeated Robert Roode to win his only NXT title in 2017. McIntyre made his RAW debut in 2018 and aligned with Dolph Ziggler. The duo won the RAW Tag Team titles on one occasion, before parting ways soon after.
McIntyre's time finally came when he won the 2020 Royal Rumble match. He went on to win his first WWE Championship by defeating Brock Lesnar in the main event of WrestleMania 36. It's nothing short of impressive how far Drew McIntyre has come in a matter of years. Judging by his current reign, it won't be a surprise to see him dominating the WWE roster for years to come.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
