WWE Universe Allegedly Set For Massive Drew McIntyre Surprise In 2026

Drew McIntyre is allegedly set for a massive change of direction in 2026.

The Scottish Warrior was WWE’s biggest babyface during the pandemic era. However, he later turned heel in his quest to find his way back to the top of the mountain.

The former World Heavyweight Champion is currently in a storyline with Cody Rhodes on SmackDown. The two superstars are scheduled to clash on the January 9 episode of the blue brand in a Three Stages of Hell match for the Undisputed WWE Championship.

WWE Analyst Think Drew McIntyre Will Turn Babyface In 2026

Speaking on his Notsam Wrestling podcast, WWE analyst Sam Roberts disclosed his desire to see McIntyre end Cody Rhodes’ Undisputed Title reign next month.

Meanwhile, he predicted that The Scottish Warrior will eventually turn babyface again in 2026.

I think there is so much appreciation for the work that Drew McIntyre is doing right now. And I think that Drew McIntyre, aside from winning the championship, has done everything that you possibly can as a heel. And it gets to a point where you’ve done everything you can do as a heel and the people are really enjoying your work, there’s only one option, you gotta turn babyface.

And I think in 2026 that happens. I think Drew McIntyre goes back to being a babyface for the first time since the pandemic, and we see that turn happen in 2026. And I think it’ll be really successful. I think Drew McIntyre is a babyface in 2026 will be really spectacular. [55:17 onwards]
