Drew McIntyre says he’ll be back on WWE television “eventually”
While speaking to Going Ringside, WWE star Drew McIntyre commented on his transition from WWE to movie projects. Here is what McIntyre had to say…
“I’ve been very lucky that these opportunities have come my way, and we’ll see what the future holds.
I think it’s pretty interesting, the way I see it. I don’t want to be the big bad guy, the big heavy number three. I’m not interested in that. If there’s a unique role, or people generally think this kind of person would play this role, what if we put someone like Drew in that role? The size, the accent, and hopefully, when people see some of the projects I’ve been working on, they can see that this guy can show a little bit of range.
Maybe the casting directors and directors themselves might think, ‘Hey, we should try Drew in this role and try to be different,’ because that’s what we’ve been doing the past few months, and I ain’t changing for anybody.”
McIntyre also commented on when he’ll return to WWE…
“I’ll be back eventually. You know, WWE is my home, but at the same time, Hollywood Drew is busy right now and focused on Hollywood Drew. So, when I get back eventually, it’s going to be a big deal.
I’ve never been out for six months since I was 15. I started wrestling professionally, and I’ve never had six months off in this entire time. So, when I come back, I think it’s going to be a big deal for the fans, and it’ll be a big deal for me, but it’s not right now.”
