Drew McIntyre has confirmed that he intends to return to WWE but insists the timing is not yet right. Speaking to CNN-News18, the former WWE Champion thanked Nick Khan and Triple H for letting him explore acting opportunities, revealing he has filmed three movies during his absence.

Despite speculation about a possible injury, Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp reported that he has heard nothing to suggest McIntyre is injured. McIntyre has also confirmed that he has continued training in the ring while pursuing his acting career.
Former WCW Executive Vice President Jim Herd died in October 2026 at the age of 87, according to Conrad Thompson of Uncrowned. Herd led WCW from 1989 until 1992 and remains a controversial figure, particularly for firing Ric Flair in 1991 following a contract dispute and reportedly proposing to repackage him as “Spartacus.” Despite criticism of his creative decisions, Herd helped secure major sponsorship deals and expand WCW’s merchandise business.
His tenure also saw the arrival of notable wrestlers including Vader, The Great Muta and Terry Funk, alongside Sting‘s first World Championship victory and Ric Flair’s acclaimed rivalry with Ricky Steamboat. He largely withdrew from wrestling after leaving WCW and later worked in the casino industry. His cause of death has not been disclosed.
