Here’s everything you need to know about the return of The Scottish Warrior
Since WrestleMania 40, Drew McIntyre has been on a losing streak. Although he defeated Seth “Freakin” Rollins at WrestleMania 40 and celebrated his victory, he took it too far by taunting CM Punk while standing on the announce table. This outraged CM Punk, who began assaulting Drew. Seizing the opportunity, Damian Priest arrived and cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase against Drew McIntyre for the World Title. Damian performed his finisher on Drew, becoming the new World Heavyweight Champion.
Despite his loss, the Scottish Warrior managed to overcome numerous challenges, including a match against Judgment Day member Finn Bálor. He secured an assurance that Judgment Day members would be banned from ringside during his World Title match against Damian Priest at Clash at the Castle. In the main event of Clash at the Castle, Drew and Damian put on a spectacular match, with both competitors giving their all.
As the match progressed, Drew was on the verge of victory after delivering a Claymore Kick. However, luck was not on his side. When the referee was incapacitated, CM Punk interfered, taking over as referee. Punk stopped counting at two, which enraged Drew. In his fury, Drew began choking CM Punk, who responded with a low blow. Damian took advantage of the situation, performed his finisher on Drew, and successfully retained the World Title at Clash at the Castle.
As we approach Money in the Bank 2024, a match is set between Seth “Freakin” Rollins and Damian Priest for the World Title. Damian extended the challenge to Seth, who promptly accepted. There is a high probability that The Scottish Warrior, Drew McIntyre, could interfere in this match. Drew has been a prominent figure in the World Heavyweight Title scene for a long time, often losing the title due to outside interference. Now, it seems his moment has come to strike back and claim what he believes he deserves, potentially causing Damian to retain the title at Money in the Bank 2024.
Additionally, Drew McIntyre might make his return before SummerSlam to challenge CM Punk. Fans have long awaited the intense promos and interferences between these two.
SummerSlam could be the stage for an epic clash between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre. This may explain why Drew temporarily left WWE; CM Punk has played many mind games with him, and now it’s Drew’s turn. McIntyre’s announced departure could have been a ruse to confuse CM Punk, setting up a surprise return for Drew to exact his revenge.
