The two-time WWE Champion is an established member of the WWE roster, returning in 2017 after a three-year absence, regularly switching from heel to fan-favorite and showing a huge amount of character depth.

Despite his stature, Drew McIntyre’s inclusion in WWE 2K24 has been a topic of discussion. But we’re here to erase any doubt with a definitive answer.

There has been some confusion regarding Drew McIntyre in WWE 2K24 as he was strangely omitted from the full roster reveal initially, despite the fact a video on social media already revealed the overall rating of the Scottish Superstar. The list has since been updated, however, and it can be confirmed that Drew McIntyre is included in the WWE 2K24 roster.

McIntyre’s first appearance in the game franchise came in WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2011. After a four-year hiatus that followed WWE 2K14, he returned in WWE 2K18 as part of a DLC pack and has featured in every game since. It’s no surprise that McIntyre is once again featured—particularly after victory in the Elimination Chamber to set up a World Heavyweight Title clash against Seth Rollins at WrestleMania.

Drew McIntyre has an OVR of 93 in WWE 2K24, making him one of the highest-rated Superstars in the game. From the Raw ratings revealed so far, only Gunther (90), Jey Uso (90), and Cody Rhodes (93) have a higher rating among male wrestlers.

Further changes to the roster could be made ahead of the early access release on March 5, but the likes of CM Punk and Dragon Lee will have to wait a little while longer before they’re introduced in DLC packs.
