McIntyre then confirmed in an ESPN interview that he has “signed with NXT.”
“Well the answer’s pretty simple,” said McIntyre. “I’ve won championships all across the world, I’ve helped build brands. So what’s the next logical thing for me to do? It’s to come here and win the NXT title.”
“If that’s not clear enough for everybody, Drew McIntyre has signed with NXT,” said McIntyre, definitively.
Drew McIntyre was released from WWE in 2014, then went on to become an indy star, wrestling for PWG, EVOLVE, ICW, and more. He also became one of TNA’s biggest stars and had been offered a contract to win the TNA Championship very recently by new TNA ownership, but he declined and is now back in WWE/NXT.
