The AEW is an exciting place to be, these days. Many famous wrestlers such as MJF, and Bryan Danielson are lighting up the promotion. In fact, some wrestling fans prefer the All Elite Wrestling style, over WWE. After a disappointing defeat against Gunther, famous WWE star Drew McIntyre could be on his way to the other side, according to a popular fan theory. Moreover, McIntyre’s current unsatisfactory contract could lead him to approach Tony Khan and discuss a potential switch.
Drew McIntyre could make a surprise debut at Wembley Stadium for AEW
Fans of AEW can look forward to exciting times in the promotion. Big WWE names such as CM Punk, Goldberg, and Sheamus are being connected to the promotion. We’ve previously seen stars like Cody Rhodes, make a jump from AEW to the WWE.

However, not many stars go the opposite route. But, Drew McIntyre is another name, which is heavily rumored to make a debut at AEW’s Wembley show announcement around August.
Recently, a Twitter account wrote “Tony Khan announces ALL IN for London in August. Drew Mcintyre’s contract ends in July and he’s not renewing. Y’all seeing the vision?”
This tweet got fans of the 37-year-old wrestler and AEW discussing the potential move. Moreover, AEW fans think this could actually materialize because of a few factors.
Fans think Tony Khan can make the move happen, against all odds
Fans of Drew McIntyre were disappointed in his loss against Gunther, at WrestleMania 39. Both he and Sheamus are veterans of the game, whom fans felt got the pointy end of the stick by their current employer. They also explained why the Scottish wrestler could make a switch to AEW.
Fans wrote in the comments:

Many fans hinted that Tony Khan could purchase the remainder of the former world champion’s WWE contract to get him over to AEW.
Tony Khan could easily buy out the remainder of Drew McIntyres contract. He would be one of the biggest signs to date! WWE has treated him & Sheamus like garbage. Both of them truly deserve soo much better.

Others felt that WWE and Vince McMahon would never let that happen.
I can see it. Drew is never smelling another world championship again in WWE, not that he will in AEW, but if the money and dates are right, I don’t see why not.

Can’t see it happening. Vince pushed him more than hhh did. Now the women I definitely see walking tho. Except charlotte, Becky, Lacey, Bianca, and whoever isn’t pro women. Rhea & bayley I can see leaving easily. Dana I think is about to leave. I’m sure the returns want to.

If that happens I will be all elite for life – where Drew goes I go
