5 Reasons why Drew McIntyre should turn heel soon

#4. It would do justice to Drew McIntyre to turn him heel beforehand

Drew McIntyre has faced a similar problem a few times this year since the crowds have returned - they haven't been too receptive to him. Around 90% of the time, he seems to get great reactions, but the remaining 10% tells a different story.

Let's take the case of Money in the Bank 2021. McIntyre was coming off a loss to Bobby Lashley at Hell in a Cell. The match stipulated that if the former lost the match, he wouldn't be able to challenge for the WWE Championship as long as Lashley held the title.

At this point, many fans felt that Drew McIntyre had overstayed his welcome in the world title picture. He first lost to Riddle in an MITB qualifying match. That's why when McIntyre qualified for the MITB ladder match following his "Last Chance" victory against The Original Bro and AJ Styles, there was a collective groan from fans.

When he cut a promo about winning the briefcase, the crowd booed him. It's a shame because he deserves all the credit in the world for his work in 2020 alone. Despite not having crowds present for both his WWE title reigns, there weren't many world champions in the past decade who consistently delivered excellent pay-per-view matches the way he did.

Turning him heel would essentially be WWE making the move before fans have a chance to fully boo him. If he keeps sticking around the world title picture (on RAW and SmackDown), fans will inevitably turn on him, so it's better to get a headstart.
