Drew McIntyre has been stuck in limbo ever since he made his move to the main roster. While McIntyre has been protected and shown to be a dominant force, he is yet to break the glass ceiling and reach main-event status.
Although McIntyre is a heel on RAW, there has been speculation that he may be turning face soon. Wade Keller of PWTorch has stated that he feels Paul Heyman may be the one behind McIntyre's change in character.

I think that Drew was definitely heading towards a babyface personality in the way he interacted with the crowd, but was badass in the ring. So, I think it may be testing the waters, or what if Paul Heyman told Drew to be a little looser. Because Drew is wound so tight.
Heyman could have said 'we want you to show a wider range'. That could be step one of Paul hoping that fans cheer drew and then go to Vince and say that fans are cheering Drew, so let's have him in the rumble and face Brock Lesnar.(H/T: SportsKeeda)
