Around mid-January, Drew McIntyre returned to the WWE Performance Center to continue with his recovery after getting injured in November and having to undergo surgery. At that time, we confirmed in Súper Luchas that his improvement was going well, although there was no official date for his return to the ring.
According to PWInsider, the former NXT Champion is getting closer to returning, as he is not only still training at the center, but also training in the ring. Additionally, the report revealed that the plan is for him to return during WrestleMania weekend, at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans.
There is still no news about the opportunities that await McIntyre upon his return. He could be on track for a new chance to win gold, or perhaps a rivalry with one of the top NXT wrestlers awaits him.
This return is not only important for the yellow brand, but also for the main roster, as he is likely to be one of the developmental talents who will make their way to Monday Night Raw or SmackDown this year. After WrestleMania, many competitors from NXT usually join the ranks of WWE's main shows.
