WWE Fans Are Convinced WrestleMania 42 Will Be Drew McIntyre’s Last Match—Here’s Why
For months, the WWE Universe has been obsessed with one question: Who attacked Jacob Fatu back in October? The attack not only derailed a huge title-eliminator match against Drew McIntyre but also forced Fatu to undergo dental surgery that kept him out of action for two months.
The footage of the assault has remained a closely guarded secret, but Fatu has made his suspicions clear. He’s been on McIntyre’s trail ever since returning, and all signs point to a massive confrontation at WrestleMania 42. If the rumors are true, this could be the night McIntyre is forced to walk away for good.
Jacob Fatu’s Revenge Tour Has Reached Its Breaking Point
Fatu has every reason to want McIntyre’s head on a platter. From the Royal Rumble to the Elimination Chamber, McIntyre has systematically sabotaged Fatu’s path to the world title picture. The Scottish Warrior didn’t stop there—he even interfered in Fatu’s match against Trick Williams on SmackDown, a petty move made immediately after Fatu cost him a shot at Cody Rhodes’ WWE Title.
With the losses piling up due to McIntyre’s interference, Fatu needs to regain his unstoppable momentum. A win isn’t enough—he needs to make McIntyre say those two words.
Hollywood Is Calling Drew McIntyre
Timing is everything in professional wrestling, and the timing here is almost too perfect. Drew McIntyre is set to star in the Highlander reboot directed by Chad Stahelski, a commitment that will keep him off television for most of the summer.
This creates a natural exit strategy. An “I Quit” match at WrestleMania 42 gives McIntyre the perfect way to get written off TV. He’s already had his moment—a transitional but wildly entertaining WWE Championship run—and now he’s in the ideal position to do what top stars do: put over the next guy on the way out.
Why Fatu’s Story Doesn’t End With McIntyre
Beating a former world champion like Drew McIntyre is the final step Jacob Fatu needs to cement himself as a permanent fixture in the main event scene. He already graduated from the mid-card when he became United States Champion during his feud with Solo Sikoa. Now, it’s time for him to ascend to the top of the card.
But here is where the twist comes in. While Fatu has been hyper-focused on McIntyre, believing he was the one who caved in his teeth with a Claymore Kick, the eventual footage reveal is expected to show a different culprit: Randy Orton and his devastating Punt Kick.
If Orton goes on to dethrone Cody Rhodes, the stage will be set for Fatu to shift his focus after dismantling McIntyre. By making Drew quit at the biggest show of the year, Fatu doesn’t just settle an old score—he positions himself as the one man ruthless enough to eventually take down the Viper.
