Drew McIntyre recently spoke about a potential character change in WWE

The Scottish Warrior recently spoke about a potential change in character. Speaking in an interview with NBC Sports Boston’s Steve Fall, the former WWE Champion opened up about being a babyface for the last couple of years.

Drew McIntyre added that if he ever turns a heel down the road, his character will have more "depth" to it.

"That’s what I’ve enjoyed most about being a good guy in the past year and a half, two years, is I’ve just literally been myself and the crowd have responded positively. Also, if I eventually turn bad again, I won’t just be the big, angry man. My character will have depth because they’ve been educated on who I really am, and it’ll be more interesting next time around,” said McIntyre.

I gave everything. I always do, I always will. Thank you ❤️ #WWECastle https://t.co/X5icq3srKA
