Drew McIntyre Reflects On His Recent Acting Run, Says WWE Is His First Love

Drew McIntyre says that he will go back to acting at some point following his recent roles, but WWE is his first love. McIntyre has been busy on the acting front as of late, playing roles in the upcoming Highlander reboot and The Last Druid as well as a voice role the Disney film Hexed and the microdrama Agent of Shadows. The acting work has kept him off WWE TV, but he’s looking to be back soon.

McIntyre spoke with India’s CNN-News18 promoting Agent of Shadows and was asked about whether he plans to return to acting at some point. He noted that it wasn’t something he chased, but that he enjoyed it and that “Hollywood Drew will be back.” He noted that WWE is his first love and he’s looking forward to getting back there. You can see highlights below:

On If He Plans To Continue Acting:

“I mean again, I’m not chasing it. I know a few of our guys are chasing it. I think Drew McIntyre would say, you know, Drew McIntyre didn’t come to Hollywood. Hollywood came to Drew McIntyre, and we’re taking it as it comes.

“I will be back to WWE. WWE is my home and I appreciate Nick Khan and Triple H letting me go out and explore this world, and hopefully it’s beneficial to both worlds. But when the time is right, Hollywood Drew will be back. But the time’s not right quite yet. But I’m glad that with Agent of Shadows, the two worlds were able to collide, and we have so many of our superstars and legends in that project.”

On WWE Being His First Love:

“Yeah, I mean it’s WWE. It’s my first love. It’s my most dysfunctional relationship, my longest marriage, and we’ll be together as long as we can be together. Even Bautista says the same, like he wishes he could still be wrestling in front of the large crowds. Because there’s nothing like the live WWE audience, especially the Indian fans, just how passionate and how much they get into the product.

“And you know, when you get a good scene and it’s like, ‘Cut!’ And everyone’s like, ‘Good job, move on.’ They just leave and you’re standing there like, ‘Hmm. Wish everybody was clapping and cheering or something!’ But that’s what I miss, there’s nothing like the WWE fans.”
