WWE RAW Results: Bloodline invasion; top star's mom walks out heartbroken (12/23/2024)

Drew McIntyre kicked off the WWE RAW before Christmas and talked about leaving after Hell in a Cell since a close family member passed away. He insinuated that no one in the back asked about him and said that only one person from the locker room checked in on him at all.

Drew added that people like Sami Zayn and The Usos would stab him in the back in an instant. He called CM Punk and Roman Reigns the real villains before Sami Zayn showed up and said that he didn't know about his family.

Zayn mentioned that he too had to put personal tragedies aside for work and missed birthdays, weddings, and funerals but he was still grateful to be a WWE Superstar. He added that everyone in the crowd had their problems as well, but Drew wanted to make it all about himself.

Sami continued and said that Drew wasn't special and if he wanted to go against the Bloodline that was fine, but he would fight McIntyre. Drew said that it wasn't the same since his family was across the whole world and refused to face Sami in a match since Zayn could never beat him.

A brawl broke out and Sami went for the Blue Thunder Driver but Drew countered with a headbutt. McIntyre was waiting for the Claymore but Jey Uso came in with the save and Drew ran off.
