Rangers-loving WWE star Drew McIntyre is set to receive a hero's welcome in Glasgow tonight after his triumphant return as the Undisputed WWE Champion. The Scottish grappler from Ayr made history by dethroning Cody Rhodes in Berlin, reclaiming the top title for the third time in his illustrious career. Thousands of fans erupted in joy as the athlete, a die-hard Rangers supporter, returned to Scotland with the championship belt, more than four years after his last reign. This victory marks a significant achievement for Scotland and Britain, as McIntyre becomes the first WWE champion from the UK to land a major movie role in the upcoming Highlander reboot. McIntyre, aged 40, showcased his prowess in a rare Three Stages of Hell match, emerging victorious in the final steel cage phase with the help of returning superstar Jacob Fatu. He won the first normal wrestling match pinfall and held on to the championship belt, savoring the moment after numerous attempts to reclaim the title in recent years. McIntyre's journey to the top began at WrestleMania 36 in 2020 when he defeated Brock Lesnar inside the WWE Performance Center, becoming the first WWE Undisputed Champion. He then became a two-time champion in 2020 by defeating Randy Orton, though his reign was short-lived as he lost to The Miz just three months later. McIntyre's reign as World Heavyweight Champion ended abruptly when CM Punk attacked him, allowing Damian Priest to cash in his Money in the Bank contract, resulting in a reign lasting only 5 minutes and 46 seconds. The rivalry between McIntyre and Punk intensified when Punk trolled the Rangers-loving McIntyre by wearing a Celtic tracksuit for his press conference in Glasgow, sparking headlines and social media buzz. Despite the loss, McIntyre's homecoming in Glasgow will be a celebration of his achievements, with The Hydro hosting WWE's biggest names.
