Confrontation with former champion, real-life Bloodline member to be attacked? - 4 things Drew McIntyre can do on his WWE RAW return
WWE Monday Night RAW will be taking place later tonight on the USA Network. This show will be focused on building up the impending Bad Blood Premium Live Event with three matches or segments announced.
Bron Breakker will defend his Intercontinental Title against Jey Uso, Sami Zayn will go one-on-one with Ludwig Kaiser, and Drew McIntyre will make his return after a week away ahead of his major match at Bad Blood.
Drew has become one of the top stars in World Wrestling Entertainment. While he was already a world champion several years ago, his run over the past 12 months or so has elevated The Scottish Warrior to new heights.
Fans are always eager to see what Drew does from week to week and this time around should be particularly intriguing. This article will take a look at a handful of things McIntyre can do on his RAW return tonight.
Below are four things Drew McIntyre can do in his WWE RAW return.
#4. He could hype up his Hell in a Cell Match at WWE Bad Blood
WWE Bad Blood is just a few weeks away and the show is going to be loaded. The likes of Rhea Ripley, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Damian Priest, Nia Jax, and Liv Morgan have already been confirmed to appear.
The main draw of the show is likely CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre. The two have been feuding for essentially all of 2024 and will likely have their feud come to a conclusion at the show when the two stars clash in a Hell in a Cell Match.
When McIntyre returns to RAW, his main focus could be trying to promote the premium live event. He could hype up his match at WWE Bad Blood and threaten Punk, similar to what The Voice of The Voiceless did last week.
#3. Drew McIntyre could once again attack CM Punk if he's there
The rivalry between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre has been extremely physical. It was a Future Shock DDT at the 2024 WWE Royal Rumble that injured The Straight Edge Superstar. From there, Punk would go on to cost Drew in big matches against Damian Priest.
This eventually led to Drew viciously beating down and bloodying up The Voice of The Voiceless on more than one occasion. Punk would always show up to get his licks back, however, and the two are now tied 1-1 in their WWE matches thus far.
It isn't yet clear if CM Punk will also be at Monday Night RAW or not. If he is, Drew's direction may be the same as it has been for quite a while now. The two will likely engage in a war of words that turns physical and another beatdown could take place. Adam Pearce will likely fail to stop it once again.
#2. He could confront Wade Barrett
Wade Barrett is a legend in WWE. He had numerous runs as the Intercontinental Champion and was even the King of the Ring. Arguably the most memorable aspect of his career, however, was as the leader of The Nexus.
He and McIntyre are long-time friends dating back to their time together traveling the British indies. Recently, however, the two had a serious confrontation on RAW, and McIntyre even threatened the former WWE Intercontinental Champion. Now, the two could have another confrontation.
Wade could stand up for himself and warn Drew about his recent actions. McIntyre may snap and attack the wrestler-turned-commentator, which would likely get The Scottish Warrior a lot of heat. Who knows, this could even potentially plant the seeds for Barrett's return to the ring.
#1. McIntyre could take out his anger on his long-time foe Jey Uso
Drew McIntyre may believe that everything he does is righteous and justified, but that isn't the case. He mistreats and outright abuses other WWE Superstars out of spite. Seth Rollins, Sami Zayn, and Jey Uso have been examples of this.
Jey Uso has been a victim on more than one occasion thanks to his association with The Bloodline. Drew was furious when Jey joined WWE RAW and he became even more irate that fans and some wrestlers forgave Uso for his past behavior. McIntyre hates Jey to this very day.
While Jey has a big match against Bron Breakker and issues with The Judgment Day, there is a chance that if Drew is angry enough, he'll take it out on his long-time foe. McIntyre could either cost Jey the Intercontinental Title or attack the former Bloodline member backstage to let out some of his anger ahead of Bad Blood.
