Drew McIntyre has been earmarked by WWE officials to be a major player in the company for a while now, and his WWE Championship win at WrestleMania 36 was confirmation of that. 

WrestleTalk is reporting that he has impressed WWE management with his current run and he will have a bright future for years to come:

"WWE management has been so impressed with Drew in recent weeks, that they see him as a main eventer for years to come.

We’ve been told that his title reign will almost definitely not be a one-off like we’ve seen with Finn Balor, Jinder Mahal and Kofi Kingston in recent years, so expect to see him at the top of the card for the foreseeable future."
