Ridge Holland, a former on-screen ally of Drew McIntyre, recently shared his thoughts on the Scottish Warrior’s WWE status and potential return timeline in an interview with Cultaholic Wrestling. According to Holland, McIntyre is doing well and is likely hitting the gym, even jokingly mentioning that he is lifting two cows. While he didn’t have specific information, Holland expressed his belief that fans can expect to see McIntyre back in WWE within the next few months. “He’s fine, Drew’s fine. Yeah, he’s probably in the gym as we speak, lifting two cows. He is fine; Drew is good,” Holland said.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding McIntyre’s WWE future, Holland remains optimistic about his potential return. “I don’t know for sure, I don’t know anything. I think whether it is a month from now, two months from now, or three months from now, you will see Drew McIntyre back in WWE,” he stated.

Speculation surrounding McIntyre’s WWE future has been ongoing throughout 2023, with reports suggesting that his contract is set to expire in February 2024. While there haven’t been any recent updates regarding a new deal between McIntyre and WWE, a recent report indicated that creative plans were being developed to involve McIntyre on TV as early as Money in the Bank on July 1. However, whether McIntyre returns or not will ultimately depend on his satisfaction with the proposed plans.
WWE has announced McIntyre’s next company appearance, signaling that he is still scheduled to be part of WWE’s upcoming events. This has led to questions about how WWE would book McIntyre when he returns to the company. Would he be portrayed as a heel or babyface character? Only time will tell, but fans are eagerly awaiting his return to the ring.
