Drew McIntyre isnt stepping away from WWE anytime sooneven with a major Hollywood role on his plate. Despite speculation that his involvement in the upcoming Highlander reboot would take him off WWE television after WrestleMania 42, thats not happening. Many fans assumed WWE was setting up a temporary exit for McIntyre, especially after his wild brawl with Jacob Fatu on the March 20, 2026 episode of SmackDown. That segment saw McIntyre and Fatu fight on top of an elevated scaffold before crashing out of sight, a moment that looked like the kind of storyline setup WWE could use to write someone off TV. With WrestleMania 42 approaching, the timing made it easy to assume McIntyre would disappear from programming to focus on filming. But thats not the plan. Ringside News learned a few weeks back that McIntyre would be traveling internationally to handle both commitments, flying back and forth to Scotland to film scenes for the Highlander reboot while staying active with WWE. Instead of taking time off after WrestleMania, hell continue balancing both roles at the same time. Even more interesting, the filming schedule has reportedly been structured specifically to keep WWE running smoothly. His team worked out logistics that allow him to continue appearing without missing scheduled dates or production responsibilities. That means no extended break, no storyline write-off, and no disappearance after WrestleManiaeven while working on a major film project alongside Henry Cavill. Many expected the Highlander reboot to sideline McIntyre for a stretch, but the reality looks very different. Instead of stepping away, hes doubling uphandling WWE duties while filming overseas at the same time.
