Drew McIntyre Discloses Blending Offensive Humor Into Current Character

Drew McIntyre has taken on the role of WWE’s #1 antagonist due to his recent attacks on CM Punk and others. His current portrayal as a heel is a departure from anything fans have seen from him before. McIntyre has revealed how he integrates offensive humor into his character to further solidify his role.

Instead of portraying a menacing ‘heel’ as he has in the past, ‘The Scottish Warrior’ has embraced a persona centered on authenticity and speaking his mind. While speaking on the Masked Man show, he believes this approach sets him apart on the roster and encourages others to do the same.

“Just two weeks away from my WrestleMania match against WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, I’ve realized the importance of being true to myself.”

“Trying to be genuine, logical, and injecting fun into what I do has resonated positively with the audience. From 2019 to 2023, there was more truth in my portrayal than ever before in WWE, but now it’s 100 percent me.”
