Rumors of Drew McIntyre returning to WWE for SummerSlam said to be “completely inaccurate”

Last week, it was reported by WrestleVotes Radio that an internal document distributed earlier this month referenced both Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre in connection with WWE SummerSlam 2026. However, Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com provided the following update regarding McIntyre…

“Don’t expect former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre back anytime soon in a WWE ring. While online reports suggested McIntyre was set for a return leading into SummerSlam, those rumors were completely inaccurate as there has been nothing on the table for McIntyre creatively, and for good reason. Since returning from filming the Highlander reboot in Scotland, McIntyre has been circling several other Hollywood projects.”

McIntyre has been announced for a role in the upcoming historical action drama The Last Druid, which will star Russell Crowe. Filming is scheduled to take place in Spain this summer. According to the film’s synopsis, “An Emperor discovers a secluded Druid stronghold, forcing a peaceful Celtic elder to take up arms and protect his family and people from annihilation.” Crowe will portray the Celtic elder. There is currently no word on what role McIntyre will play in the film.
