However, sources close to McIntyre’s camp have revealed that his departure was not as straightforward as it seemed on television. According to a WWE insider, McIntyre’s on-screen quit was always part of a larger storyline designed to shake up the WWE roster and create new dynamics.
“While Drew’s on-screen quit was certainly dramatic, it’s essential to remember that WWE has been planning this angle for several weeks,” the source said. “The aim was to generate a buzz and create an air of uncertainty, which would ultimately lead to some exciting developments down the line.”

“Looks like I’ve still got some unfinished business to take care of,” McIntyre said in the video, referencing his upcoming match against Fatu. “As for the rest, let’s just say I’m taking things one step at a time. The future is bright, and I’m excited to see what’s next.”
McIntyre’s statement has only added fuel to the fire, with fans and pundits alike speculating about his intentions.
