Drew McIntyre has confidently declared himself as WWE’s top superstar for the next ten years, highlighting his belief in his own continued dominance in the wrestling world. The Scottish wrestler recently showcased his strength with key victories at SummerSlam and on SmackDown, reinforcing his position at the forefront of WWE’s roster.
While McIntyre remains focused on capturing the Undisputed WWE Championship, he is already looking ahead to the future of WWE’s landscape. The organization has seen a surge in fresh talent, including names like Dominik Mysterio, Bron Breakker, and Jacob Fatu, but McIntyre believes he stands apart from the rising stars. During an interview on Adam’s Apple, he was asked about who he considers the next major figure in WWE.
“It’s hard to tell since no one’s really getting in the gym, working out, and looking like a superstar or acting like a superstar. For the next 10 years, it’s f**ing Drew McIntyre,” he said.

McIntyre’s remarks reflect his ongoing critique of the current WWE roster. On a previous Wrestling Republic appearance, he openly challenged his colleagues to elevate their performance by training harder and presenting themselves more athletically in the ring.
Recent Confrontation Between McIntyre and Randy Orton on SmackDown
On a recent episode of SmackDown, McIntyre sought updates on Cody Rhodes before facing off with Randy Orton. The two engaged in a tense exchange that quickly escalated into physical conflict. McIntyre accused Orton of being foolish for assuming Rhodes was his ally.
The Scottish wrestler initiated the fight with a headbutt and attempted a Claymore Kick, which Orton narrowly avoided. Orton responded with a draping DDT, but security intervened before the match could get more violent. Orton then neutralized the security staff and prepared to deliver a punt to McIntyre, who managed to retreat out of harm’s way.
This altercation adds to the ongoing tension among WWE’s leading figures as storylines develop heading into upcoming events.
McIntyre’s Vision for WWE’s Future Amid New Talent Arrivals
As WWE welcomes new talents such as Dominik Mysterio, Bron Breakker, and Jacob Fatu, McIntyre’s self-assessment positions him as the enduring cornerstone of the promotion. Despite the influx of wrestlers, he emphasizes the importance of dedication and physical presence, qualities he believes are currently lacking in many of his peers.
Given his recent victories and outspoken comments, McIntyre’s confidence signals a possible extended reign at the top tier of WWE. His stance may inspire other wrestlers to enhance their commitment if they wish to challenge his supremacy in the years ahead.
Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see whether McIntyre maintains this momentum and if new competitors rise to meet his challenge, shaping the wrestling scene for the next decade.
