The Scottish Psychopath Drew McIntyre “completed the process to become a naturalized American citizen” according to reports from PW Insider. So we are not sure if he would now be addressed as “Scottish Psychopath” or The “American” Psychopath since he is officially an American now.
Even though there is no confirmation on his WWE status. McIntyre is out of action since his defeat by the hands of Gunther at WrestleMania 39. There were rumors that the former two times WWE World Champion is not happy with his booking in WWE. But after he got drafted to RAW, there were speculations that he would definitely come back. However, any update on his return is yet to be provided.

Reports from Xero News suggest that WWE would be bringing a couple of more new titles. As we all know, WWE Smackdown Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley is now working in RAW, and RAW Women’s Champion Asuka is a part of Smackdown after the draft. During the other drafts, wrestlers exchanged the titles which uses the name Smackdown and RAW.
But no such happened after this year’s Draft. Xero News reported that the titles were not exchanged because WWE is planning to change the name of the two titles and they would not be addressed as Smackdown and RAW Championships. You can check out the full story in detail here.
Reports from BWE also suggested that WWE is planning to build a character for AJ Styles that would be “more aggressive and determined” but it is not confirmed yet. AJ Styles received pretty strong booking since returning from injury and he could definitely have a decent upper mid card push.
