Potential spoiler on Drew McIntyre's next WWE appearance? - 4 ways The Scottish Warrior can return after quitting on RAW this week
Drew McIntyre shocked fans on Monday Night RAW when he quit WWE during the show. The Scottish Warrior seemingly walked out to cut a promo following his heartbreaking loss in the World Heavyweight Championship match at Clash at the Castle.
McIntyre was inches away from picking up a fairytale victory, but CM Punk's calculated interference stopped him in his tracks. He appeared on WWE RAW this week and started to cut a promo, but chose to quit on the spot in a surprising turn of events.
Here, we look at four exciting ways Drew McIntyre can return to WWE television after he quit on RAW this week:
#1. Drew McIntyre returns on WWE SmackDown to destroy CM Punk
"Screw this company. I quit!" said Drew McIntyre as he left the ring without cutting a promo. The camera followed him backstage, where Triple H and RAW General Manager Adam Pearce were seen trying to convince The Scottish Warrior against walking out of the arena, but the former World Heavyweight Champion did it anyway.
McIntyre was visibly upset as he made the jaw-dropping decision, but it could all be a massive play at work. CM Punk is scheduled to appear on SmackDown this week in his hometown of Chicago. McIntyre may have "quit" on RAW only to return on SmackDown and annihilate The Second City Saint in front of the latter's home crowd.
#2. Surprise entrant in Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Drew McIntyre has seen his last two world championships' reigns end due to a Money in the Bank contract. The RAW Superstar has openly expressed his disdain for the briefcase. However, Drew winning the MITB contract could lead to a poetic championship victory for The Scottish Warrior.
We may see McIntyre make a huge return at Money in the Bank as a surprise entrant in the Men's Ladder Match for the MITB briefcase. He could replace someone at the last minute or add himself to the six-man bout.
#3. Brief hiatus before massive return on WWE RAW after title change
Drew McIntyre previously revealed that his wife couldn't accompany him to Glasgow, Scotland, for his championship match at Clash at the Castle because she had to undergo emergency surgery. Hence, his decision to ''quit'' could be the best way to give him a few weeks off as he tends to his family.
Thus, we may not see The Scottish Warrior back on the red brand for a few weeks. In the meantime, Damian Priest will have to look out for Seth Rollins, who returned on RAW this week. The Archer of Infamy welcomed back the former champion and tried to assert his dominance at the top of the roster before confidently granting the returning superstar a title shot.
WWE has confirmed that Rollins will challenge Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship at the Money in the Bank Premium Live Event. We may see McIntyre return after this match, and it would be particularly interesting if the championship changed hands before he is back on RAW.
#4. Drew McIntyre to make a huge return at SummerSlam
There is no denying that Drew McIntyre has been one of the most entertaining WWE Superstars this year. His heel run has been incredible on television and beyond the on-screen product. Several of his rivals have called him out for complaining about the circumstances under which he failed to win his big matches. Still, McIntyre has done a convincing job of justifying his frustrations.
However, the repeated setbacks may have forced him to reach his breaking point. McIntyre could take a hiatus for a couple of months and return as a more vicious heel. He would receive a defeating pop if he walked out to Broken Dreams at SummerSlam, especially if CM Punk is back from his injury ahead of The Biggest Party of The Summer.
