He had something going for a while with his whole conquest to "smarten up" the entire roster, but it was executed poorly and eventually that fizzled out.
As previous members have said, he keeps getting paired up with random people and it's just not that interesting. It sucks because I do like him and he has a cool finisher but he's not being handled properly in my opinion. It sucks too because when he came up to the main roster he had a buzz around him. That would have been the best time to put a title on him. Instead they have him flounder around and now his buzz is gone and he's caught in limbo like so many other superstars.
I don't think all that much needs to change with his character, but he definitely would benefit from a solid feud that isn't just boring matches back and forth.

I honestly don't think Drew is any more or less over than anyone else at his level on the main roster. He's a good talker, hell of a worker, and he looks like a million bucks. I don't think anything is missing per se, beyond just being booked to win. I think he absolutely ends up with a World Title around his waist in the next couple of years. I can see Drew, Elias and Lashley all winning. I know Lashley is older but Vince has always loved him and I think it should still probably happen for him. Most everyone around Shane has high value to WWE. We may think Shane sucks from an entertainment standpoint but Vince really values Shane as a performer. So it's good for Drew that he's Shane's sidekick because Vince sees that as a valuable spot right now imo.

He’s my favorite wrestler on the main roster. Dude has the entire package. He’s been jobbing to Roman and teaming with everyone’s least favorite Shane O Mac, that would explain why he’s stagnant Look at how badass he looked rising up behind the Undertaker on Sunday That was really really good TV right there. I don't know how often those guys practiced that, but the camera shot of him rising up behind Undertaker, then the timing when he took the spear from Roman was perfection. That is WWE production at it's very best. If Drew ends up being the deadman's opponent for next year's WM, they have an awesome highlight reel clip for that feud.

I think 3MB should return. At this point, it might save him. XD

He is very well capable of being a top star. Look at his match with Angle and the ring psychology. It was too notch and one of the best things that happened in the past year.
Now they're using him as a generic bruiser. Hes better than that.

He always loses, and he's been someone's lackey his entire time on the main roster this run

He's booked as a loser. End of. Compare him to how Lesnar is booked and there's your answer.

Cause he sucks, his music sucks, his gimmick sucks, his moves suck ("claymore kick" my ass), his appearance sucks. I miss the clean shaven Chosen One McIntyre...THAT gimmick was great and had main event potential. But of course, WWE had to ruin him with the jobber rockband stick. I agree with you but I do like the claymore kick.

When he returned he was a face in NXT and was over, bringing him up as a heel kind of turned things around. The short lived alliance with Ziggler was pretty good. Strowman and the Viking Raiders are going over random jobbers, give him a few squash wins like that to elevate him. Jobbing to Roman Reigns all the time isn't helping him.

A face turn is his only real chance. They have fed him Angle, Cena, Ambrose and no one cares. The way he annihilated Angle should've cemented him as a dominant threat but after that night it was as if it never happened. If he turned on Shane, the companies most hated heel he would get the pop of a lifetime.

He looks great, cuts average-slightly above average promos, and is a very good wrestler, especially for his size. Having him under contract should be like a license to print money.
He isn't as over as he should be because he doesn't ever win meaningful matches.

If he turned on Shane, the companies most hated heel he would get the pop of a lifetime. It depends on what happens with Shane. If Shane on top is a short term thing and Kevin Owens destroys him at SummerSlam, a lot of the heat is gone for a Shane-Drew feud. If Shane continues steamrolling over Miz, Reigns, Owens etc, a Drew turn could work wonders, but it’s at the expense of everyone else. Hopefully, they can somehow make Owens and Drew stars out of this run, it just seems unlikely.

I don't think he needs a face run. He just needs some victories. His win over Angle was EXACTLY what they need to be doing with him. Had they saved that for WM, it would have been a huge statement win. Had he defeated Cena at WM, it would have meant something. Had he defeated Roman, he'd be top heel in the company right now.
Imagine Roman fights through the cancer and comes back against all odds. He looks good till he meets up against McIntyre at WM. And though Roman fought the tough fight, he still loses a hard fought match. Drew goes on the become Universal champion. Roman moves on. Stumbles a bit but week by week, month by month he gets better and better. Then next year at WM we get the rematch for the Universal championship.
There would have been a great redemption story there. Instead we got Roman winning and Drew floundering. The wrong man won. And I say this as a Roman fan as well.

Honestly i've always liked Mcintyre since 2009. And his in ring work and style and overall performance is so much better then it was in his first run. I really like him, his mic work is little weak and his booking is questionable. I thought Drew, Braun, and Ziggler were badass trio but just booked poorly. But, I think in this modern era a lot of guys are falling flat on the mic due to the style of content. You can tell the WWE product is less story driven then it was. I like the unpredictable nature. But, storylines just drive off and what not. I think lack of long term and point A-Z stories are lacking. And I personally need a good angle to be invested into match 90% of the time. And I think Mcintyre is weak on the mic but a lot of the other boys are too.

I don’t think anyone cared enough about their match this year for it to have propelled Drew to the top. It’s not like Roman winning did anything for him though, so they could’ve at least tried it the other way. Your story sounds more interesting than what they’re both doing at the moment... but the trouble with the Reigns redemption arc is that kids online get angry about any story that leads to Roman winning a match. Imagine all the “ugh I know this is gonna end with Roman winning the title” posts every week that he lost 😂.
