Russell Crowe gave us a clue about Drew McIntyre’s possible WWE return date

We’ve been tracking Drew McIntyre’s Dave Bautista-assisted rise in Hollywood, because as fans of Big D we’re rooting for his success… and are looking for clues as to when he might return to WWE programming, which could also give us indications as to what McIntyre might be doing when he gets back to SmackDown (or Raw… there’s been a fair amount of roster movement between Monday and Friday nights since we last saw Drew at WrestleMania in April. The Scotsman left to make movies, first the Highlander reboot with Bautista, Henry Cavill, Jon Wick franchise helmer Chad Stahelski, and then The Last Druid with Academy Award winner (and former(?) ‘round the world fighter*) Russell Crowe, who is also in the new Highlander. Yesterday, McIntyre posted some gym pics with Crowe.
