Drew McIntyre vs. Damian Priest WrestleMania 41 Match Prediction

Will the rivalry that lasted one year gets resolved at WrestleMania?

It all started last year at WrestleMania XL when Drew McIntyre defeated Seth Rollins at WrestleMania XL to win the World Heavyweight Championship. His happiness was, however, short-lived as his obsession with CM Punk cost him his title within six minutes. Damian Priest cashed in his Money in the Bank contract to win the title. This planted seeds for a rivalry that will enter its next phase at WrestleMania 2025.

A long-term rivalry that started at WrestleMania XL remained dormant for some time until Damian Priest eliminated Drew McIntyre at the 2025 Royal Rumble. It caught fire when Damian Priest eliminated Drew McIntyre at the 2025 Elimination Chamber. An angry Drew McIntyre delivered a Claymore to Damian Priest. Logan Paul got the slight advantage he needed, and he eliminated Damian Priest after that.

Drew McIntyre predicted to get his WrestleMania XL revenge at WrestleMania 41

The match between Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest is expected to be one of the most physical matches of WWE WrestleMania 41. The match would shift from Damian Priest to Drew McIntyre like a Pendulum, but the experience of Drew McIntyre is predicted to win him the match and the day. Drew McIntyre may cheat his way to victory as Damian Priest, since turning face, chooses the traditional ways of winning.

The dispute started at WrestleMania XL, turned into a brawl at the 2025 Royal Rumble. The brawl turned into a fight at the Elimination Chamber and they will go on an all-out war at WrestleMania. Drew McIntyre has been blaming Damian Priest for leeching off his success. Damian Priest, in response, called Drew McIntyre a crybaby who plays victims and blames others for his shortcomings. These two have attacked each other many times ever since.

Numerous brawls between them didn’t resolve the issue but have only intensified their rivalry. Their WrestleMania match might not resolve the rivalry between the two. They will continue their storyline for future events like Backlash and Summerslam.
