>nearing 40
>10/10 look
>RR winner, WM main eventer, beaten Brock, former WWE champ
>now lost in the high card with no real gimmick or identity
How can his career be salvaged? Is he just a failed main eventer or did the lockdowns screw him over?
I wouldn't go as far to say that he's been ruined but considering how far he's fallen from where he was before something isn't right.
Should he just leave for AEW? Or accept his position in WWE and collect the paycheck?

They lost the chance of making him a champ at Clash at the Castle and both the WWE and McIntyre agree, now it's too late and he has jobbed countless times, they need a whole new arc for him and sadly now Punk's gonna get it.
Feel bad for Drew.

Make him reunite with his buddies from 3MB and give him a dancing gimmick, it'd be such good shit, pal.

I honestly think hes been dimes lately with his tweener-ish "I dont care I'm out for myself" attitude. I think he'll be fine. Half the roster is usually in limbo anyways yet they're still there.

this
a whole bunch of talent is going to be leaving AEW or retiring within the next year and their developmental sucks so locking down another big name is in the playbook right now
drew is a comically easy guy to fantasy book in AEW which means he won't do shit in that company, sadly

This is an easy one.

WWE as it currently exists can not do Anything for him.
Because WWE doesn't properly write and develop characters.

The only guys who get truly over are the ones with such an abundance of talent that they can get themselves over despite WWE holding you back, and that's a very small list.
LA Knight and Punk on the mic.. Bryan and Sami on both the mic and the ring.

This list does not include Cody, Seth, Drew, Jey Uso..
These guys simply aren't talented enough

He has like a 7/10 look. Weird face and he's really never done anything that's not at least somewhat vanilla. He just doesn't have IT

They just need to continue building him back up as a monster psycho heel. They're doing good so far.

Ideally he should fit brocks niche once Brock retires soon

Going to be honest bros. I really hated him in 2022 but him snapping on Monday and crippling sami and attacking him backstage has really madee do a 180 on him. He just fits so great with acting unhinged. They should keep him as a crazy tweener

hes basically dead until he gets a big win or a big story arc to get him over, they killed him at Clash with Gunther and Seth finished the job

He needs a big feud with another main event level superstar that isn't a champion
If only the Undertaker was still around

Lashley also has a 10/10 look and has been in that same limbo forever.
Cody is the most over babyface and hasn't had any real feuds since Mania.
At least McIntyre has had a couple of interesting feuds vs Gunther and Seth even if he lost them.

I am 100% shoot convinced that a 3MB angle would more engaging and authentic than anything else that is currently being developed on wrestling tv. The three unlikely jobbers that came together during the dark ages and somehow ended up making it. They have an endearing and well established bond between themselves, which is also linked very well with the audience. All you'd have to do is have a heel Drew cross paths with Heath on a seemingly random segment, have it devolve into an ugly fight where the valiant babyface Heath can hold his own yet lose to the scot madman, with Jinder intervening, being the glue that holds them together. Drew turns face, has the charming band backing him up, and for this time goes on a genuinely organic journey to get the title. Not just for himself, but to represent a generation of developmental talent that persevered. Why not have it culminate in a world title match against Gunther?
This shit would 10x more logical than anything else his character has been doing over the past few years. He's been too robotic, they have to inject a human element into his schtick (or into any part of the show really). Anything would be better than a feud with Seth.

Completely unironically go back to the chosen one gimmick, but instead of being pushed by corporate (since corporate are faces now, I think), just refer to himself as the chosen one.
Also, bring back the absolute kino shaman's harvest theme.
