WWE may have huge plans for Drew McIntyre, according to former employee (Exclusive)

Former WWE writer Vince Russo recently made a huge prediction about Drew McIntyre. The star was on SmackDown this week.

Drew was on SmackDown this week for a contract signing segment. He sat down with Cody Rhodes under the guidance of General Manager Nick Aldis to make their match official. Cody mentioned that the Scottish Warrior has only been a keyboard warrior of late. Drew fired back, claiming that Rhodes was a corporate stooge who just thought about the company, stock prices, and public relations. The segment descended into chaos, and the two men started throwing hands.

On a recent episode of BroDown with host Mac Davis, Russo predicted that Drew could win the title at Wrestlepalooza. He explained that McIntyre winning the title would set up another match against John Cena. The veteran writer also noted that WWE has gone nowhere with Cody's title reign and there were no other opponents lined up for him after this feud.

"I'm gonna make a prediction. I think they're putting the title on McIntyre. I'll tell you why it makes all the sense in the world. At least to give Cena another match before his retirement. They have no idea where they're going with Cody next. If Cody beats Drew McIntyre, who's Cody's next opponent? Can you tell me? They need to put the belt on McIntyre so at least they get another meaningful match out of Cena for the title. They keep it on Cody, where is he going next, bro?" Russo said.

Drew McIntyre has terrorized Cody in the build-up to Wrestlepalooza. It will be interesting to see if The American Nightmare can get some retribution at the PLE or if Russo's prediction will finally come true.
