In a move that could rival any wrestling storyline, Drew McIntyre has officially inked a long-term contract to stay with WWE, and the details are as heartwarming as a holiday movie. Sitting down with the “Daily Mail,” McIntyre revealed that the biggest perk of his new contract isn’t the hefty paycheck or even his trajectory in the ring—it’s all about happiness and family time.
“After decades in the spotlight, it’s not the glitter of gold but the joy of life that’s my championship belt,” McIntyre shared, reflecting on his illustrious career and recent heel turn that has fans buzzing. The Scottish powerhouse has been a major player in WWE, especially noted for his clash with CM Punk that began with a showdown at the Royal Rumble earlier this year.
But what’s truly noteworthy about McIntyre’s new deal is his shift in priorities. “Being happy is what’s most important. I’m at a point in my life and career where all that matters is I’m happy and I can spend time with my family that I’ve missed for 20 years,” McIntyre explained, touching on a sentiment that resonates far beyond the wrestling ring.
WWE has apparently taken a more collaborative approach with its talent, a change that has allowed stars like McIntyre to shine and show their true capabilities. “There’s been a lot more leeway given to talent, a lot more collaboration,” he noted, adding that this environment helps wrestlers navigate the inevitable “peaks and valleys” of their careers.
McIntyre is confident about his future, undeterred by the ups and downs that come with the wrestling business. “I’m in my prime, and Drew McIntyre is not going to stop wrestling,” he declared, ready to roll with the punches, whatever they may be.
This revelation provides a deeper look into the values and aspirations driving one of WWE’s top stars, illustrating that in the wrestling world, the real victories often happen outside the ring.
