Former two times WWE World champion Drew McIntyre is expected to return to WWE soon “if WWE gets their wish.” The Scottish Psychopath is out of action since his defeat at WrestleMania 39 by the hands of the WWE Intercontinental Champion Gunther.
We did not get to hear from him since and there is no strong update on the former champion since. But it had been reported by various media sources that he was not happy with the way he was being treated lately and he did not want to work in WWE anymore.
The Wait Is Over: Drew McIntyre’s Update Finally Unveiled to the WWE Universe
But it was pretty much visible that WWE did not give up on him. He was mentioned on screen by WWE for a number of times during this absence, something that is pretty uncommon in WWE when a wrestler is not willing to work in the promotion or is not wanted.
But McIntyre was mentioned a several times. He was even drafted to Monday Night RAW during the WWE draft of 2023 that took place during the absence of the Scottish Warrior. The fans quickly got into theories that he would return to win the new World Heavyweight Championship soon.
Drew McIntyre Might Return For WWE UK Tour
There are even strong rumours that McIntyre would turn heel for the first time after becoming a main event star in WWE and would continue his journey as a main eventer in the promotion. Fans are waiting badly to see McIntyre working as a heel in WWE after a long time.
According to reports from PW Insider, WWE expects McIntyre back “in the mix” by their UK tour and he might even be available for Money in the Bank which is the upcoming PLE of WWE. There had been rumors that McIntyre can join the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match as a surprise contender.
Money in the Bank would be taking place on O2 Arena of London. McIntyre would have been an amazing fit for the event and it would have been an excellent choice of having him back in the promotion after three months of absence. McIntyre leading Monday Night RAW as the face of the brand once again would definitely be a treat.
