During an interview on the Pat McAfee Show, the former WWE Champion reflected on his past termination by WWE in 2014. McIntyre acknowledged the necessity of that setback to rediscover himself, highlighting The Rock’s recent announcement of his contract renewal as a pivotal moment in his career. He encouraged perseverance in the face of adversity and emphasized the importance of self-accountability and relentless effort.
Despite his external commitments, The Final Boss is anticipated to reignite his rivalry with Cody Rhodes post his return and may vie for the WWE Championship in the future. Following his confrontation with the newly crowned Undisputed WWE Champion on RAW post-WrestleMania XL, the stage is set for a potential title challenge down the line.
