The WWE RAW episode that aired recently has left fans stunned with a surprise return of Drew McIntyre, who attacked Sami Zayn after the latter’s loss to Seth Rollins in a singles match. The unexpected turn of events has generated a lot of speculation about the reasons behind McIntyre’s return, and this article will go into three possible reasons that might have led to his sudden appearance.
One of the reasons could be that Drew McIntyre is angry with CM Punk getting more attention. The Second City Saint has been the talk of the town in recent weeks due to his ongoing storyline with The Bloodline, which has generated massive social media engagement and made him the center of attention. It’s likely that McIntyre, who has been part of several high-profile feuds in the past, feels overshadowed by Punk’s sudden surge in popularity. As a result, he decided to return to WWE RAW to grab some of the spotlight for himself.
Another possible reason for McIntyre’s return could be to settle his unfinished business with the OG Bloodline members. The rivalry between McIntyre and the Bloodline, led by Roman Reigns, seems never-ending, with the Scottish Warrior having lost several major opportunities due to the interference of Reigns’ faction. With McIntyre having seemingly settled his issues with CM Punk, it’s likely that he will refocus on the OG Bloodline members and settle the score with them. This could also explain why McIntyre attacked Sami Zayn upon his return to the red brand, as a warning to the other members of the Bloodline to stay away from him.
Finally, there is a possibility that McIntyre returned to attack Sami Zayn specifically because of his relationship with CM Punk. During the opening of the recent RAW, Punk shared a handshake with both Jey Uso and Sami Zayn, indicating a good relationship between the three. McIntyre and Seth Rollins, on the other hand, share a similar hatred for Punk, which could be the motivation behind McIntyre’s return. With the OG Bloodline members siding with Punk, it’s likely that McIntyre’s attack on Sami Zayn was a message to the other members of the Bloodline about what could happen if they continue to align with the Second City Saint. This could plant seeds for a match between Roman Reigns and McIntyre in the near future.
