Drew McIntyre Makes Surprise Return to WWE Raw After Months of Absence

Drew McIntyre, the Scottish wrestler known for his intense matches, made a surprise return to WWE Raw on December 3, 2024, marking his first appearance since his brutal Hell in a Cell match against CM Punk at the Bad Blood pay-per-view event in early October.

McIntyre’s return was highly anticipated, with fans and insiders speculating about his potential comeback. Prior to his return, there were reports that he was given time off to recover from injuries and for personal reasons, but no exact timeline for his return had been confirmed.

During his return on WWE Raw, McIntyre immediately made his presence felt by taking out Sami Zayn, setting the stage for potential new feuds. This move suggests that WWE creative is already planning significant storylines for his return, although the specifics of these plans are still unfolding.

The timing of McIntyre’s return is strategic, given the upcoming events in the WWE calendar, including the Royal Rumble and the highly anticipated Netflix debut of RAW in January. These events often feature surprise returns and significant storyline developments, making McIntyre’s comeback well-timed.

Speculation is rife about who McIntyre might face next, with some suggesting a potential feud with Gunther, given that his storyline with CM Punk appears to be concluded.
