Report: Reason Drew McIntyre Is Being Pushed On WWE Raw Revealed

On the last three episodes of Monday Night Raw, WWE has started to push Drew McIntyre as a babyface. This began on the December 30 episode as he annihilated Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder in 50 seconds in a Handicap match.

Then on January 6, The Scottish Psychopath introduced more babyface tendencies to his character. After beating down No Way Jose and his conga line, he delivered a Future Shock DDT to the Dominican dancer, followed by a kick up to his feet. McIntyre then waited in the corner and did a 3-2-1 countdown with the crowd before hitting Jose with the Claymore Kick.

The former Intercontinental champion then proved his credentials as a top star in the company, defeating both AJ Styles and Randy Orton in a Triple Threat match on this week's episode of Raw.

, this renewed push is because of WWE's new TV deal in the UK with BT Sport, as WWE management has decided to push a British Superstar in the hope that it will increase viewership across the pond. While the company could have chosen to spotlight a different UK talent like Pete Dunne or Killian Dain, they chose the former Intercontinental champion because Paul Heyman has confidence in McIntyre to deliver on the microphone.
