11-time WWE champion to return from injury during major Saturday Night's Main Event match? Potential angle explored
WWE Saturday Night Main Event is just around the corner, set to air live on December 14, 2024. The stacked lineup has heightened excitement for the WWE Universe. Amid this, there’s a possibility that 11-time WWE champion Jey Uso could return from injury during the Sami Zayn vs. Drew McIntyre match.
The Honorary Uce challenged The Scottish Warrior on RAW this week, seeking revenge for McIntyre's attacks on him and potentially Jey Uso. During SmackDown, Drew even attacked Jimmy Uso, who was there to announce his hiatus due to injury. Considering these events, it seems probable that The YEET Master could return to aid The OG Bloodline member during the match.
So far, WWE has not announced any official hiatus for Jey after being taken out by McIntyre on last week’s RAW. This increases the likelihood of a surprise appearance by the Samoan Twin during Saturday Night Main Event. The former Intercontinental Champion could show up when McIntyre appears to be dominating Zayn.
His timely distraction could allow Sami to seize advantage and ultimately secure the victory. Jey Uso is a six-time WWE Tag Team Champion, a four-time World Tag Team Champion, and a former IC Champ. A star with such accolades could undoubtedly make Saturday Night Main Event an even bigger spectacle.
Drew McIntyre could be engaged in a long-term story with The OG Bloodline in WWE
With all the recent developments, it appears that The Scottish Warrior is expected to be involved in a long-term storyline with The OG Bloodline. Drew McIntyre’s attack on Jimmy Uso signifies that he won’t spare anyone for aiding Roman Reigns. Since these events are ultimately tied to The Original Tribal Chief, a confrontation between Reigns and McIntyre seems inevitable.
Additionally, both the stars have unresolved bad blood, adding intrigue to the brewing conflict between these two. It’s also worth noting that McIntyre may still hold a grudge against Solo Sikoa, who cost him the Undisputed Championship at Clash at the Castle 2022.
If Solo Sikoa hadn’t interfered that day, Drew McIntyre might have been the one to dethrone Roman Reigns and end his historic title reign. With the rivalry between Roman and Solo still ongoing, McIntyre’s inclusion could bring even more compelling dynamics to the family drama.
It will be interesting to see how things unfold at Saturday Night Main Event when Drew McIntyre locks horns with Sami Zayn.
