Drew McIntyre loses after 490 days in a WWE House Show
With this loss, McIntyre’s 490-day streak of not losing a singles match at a WWE Live Event came to an end. Before last night, his prior loss came at a House Show on July 9th, 2022, where he lost to Roman Reigns in a match for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
McIntyre has been treated as a top WWE Superstar since his WWE Title run in 2020. He carried the WWE brand on his heavy shoulder during the COVID-19 era and it made him one of the most protected stars of the company. There have been speculations of some recent issues between the two parties. But reports also noted that he re-signed with the WWE and will stay with them for the foreseeable future.
