While Cody Rhodes vs Roman Reigns and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson have taken over the majority of media ahead of WrestleMania XL, another story that has everyone’s attention is CM Punk vs Drew McIntyre vs Seth Rollins. A sub-plot where fans have seen a heel Drew McIntyre who has no creative restrictions, an anti-hero CM Punk, and Seth Rollins who is torn between them turns out to be one of the most talked about things lately. However, it looks like there is one final transformation left for McIntyre and that will happen on WrestleMania XL.

Drew McIntyre and his Broken Dreams

Taking to X (formerly Twitter) WWE dropped a very subtle hint about what fans might get to see at the upcoming WrestleMania. The caption read, Will @DMcIntyreWWE be dreaming broken dreams at #WrestleMania or will  @WWERollins have his days numbered with that World Heavyweight Championship?”

In case you did not realize, by “dreaming broken dreams” WWE might be hinting at Drew McIntyre’s fan-favorite theme song Broken Dreams from his earlier days. It was his theme song during his first run at WWE. However, after returning to WWE, his theme song was changed to Gallantry.

While fans have mixed feelings about Gallantry, the reason why it is not liked much is that it does not encapsulate the Scottish Psychopath in his complete glory. Fans got a glimpse of McIntyre entering that song at the 2022 Clash at the Castle PLE.

It is long overdue now and fans want to hear the song once again. Here is what McIntyre has to say about the song.

The more popular theme song

McIntyre himself has acknowledged the fact that Broken Dreams is more popular than Gallantry. What makes the two songs so different are the lyrics. While Gallantry is just music, his previous theme song had lyrics, and fans connected to it more. “I see the Broken Dreams comments. I love it myself, I reference it all the time,” he had once said.

McIntyre also stated in the same TikTok that if he brings back the song, he wants his fans to sing the song along with him. Many would believe that the return of the popular theme song has been long overdue, especially considering his feud with Seth Rollins. Just a few days before his match with Rollins at the 2023 Crown Jewel, he had dedicated a few lines to his opponent. While he did not enter on the Broken Dreams song at Crown Jewel, do you think Drew McIntyre will set the stage ablaze at WrestleMania XL?
