Drew McIntyre's WrestleMania 41 Plans Shift Amid John Cena's Involvement
Changes in Drew McIntyre's WrestleMania 41 Path
Recent reports suggest that Drew McIntyre's journey leading up to WrestleMania 41 has undergone several changes. Initially, he was expected to be prominently featured in the championship scene, but those plans may have shifted for the time being.
As per the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, McIntyre was slated to engage in a feud with Cody Rhodes, the Undisputed WWE Champion, following WrestleMania 41. However, with John Cena now part of the storyline and favored to win against Rhodes at Mania, these plans could be altered.
The report indicates that the result of Rhodes' match against Cena at WrestleMania 41 will likely impact McIntyre's trajectory: “McIntyre was moved to SmackDown originally for a title match series with Rhodes, but if Rhodes loses (to John Cena at WrestleMania 41), that falls apart as I don’t see them doing Cena vs. McIntyre.”

Drew McIntyre is set to face Damian Priest at WrestleMania 41, marking a rematch from the previous year's event where Priest cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on McIntyre to claim the World Heavyweight Championship, with CM Punk also involved.
Regardless of whether McIntyre's future WWE Title feud materializes, he appears to be anticipating significant storylines on WWE programming, potentially involving The Rock. In a conversation with Adam’s Apple, the SmackDown star hinted at exciting developments with The Rock around WrestleMania 41, stating, “I got a chance to talk with him at Elimination Chamber, and there’s a few things on the horizon. They’re going to be pretty big once it becomes public.”
