The Scottish Psychopath, Drew McIntyre, is rumored to be planning to go heel and challenge Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Title at Night of Champions, according to reports circulating across the WWE Universe. Since WrestleMania 39, McIntyre hasn’t appeared in any WWE programming, although he’s speculated to be coming back soon, maybe to face Rollins in a Champion vs. Champion bout.

Could a Heel Turn for Drew McIntyre Shake Up Seth Rollins’s Title Chances at Night of Champions?
McIntyre is the ideal candidate for a villain turn, according to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, as he is rumored to be in contract talks with WWE and may be departing the organization shortly. Meltzer suggests that turning McIntyre’s heel would be a smart move, allowing him to feud with Rollins and Cody Rhodes, and position himself potentially as the number one guy in the brand.
