The recent episode of Monday Night RAW was a showstopper, with the surprise return of former champion Drew McIntyre sending suprisewaves among fans and wrestling experts alike. However, veteran wrestling writer Vince Russo, a former head writer for WWE, expressed his discontent with the creative direction taken by the company in handling McIntyre’s comeback. Russo had expected McIntyre to turn on everyone who was part of the OG Bloodline, a storyline that would have made little sense given McIntyre’s character and background.
Instead, McIntyre’s brutal Claymore attack on Sami Zayn during the main event segment had Russo scratching his head. He felt that WWE’s decision to have McIntyre lay the smackdown on Zayn was a desperate attempt to create a new angle, which ultimately fell flat. Russo’s comments echo the sentiments of many fans who were left perplexed by McIntyre’s actions. The Glasgow-born superstar’s mysterious presence has always been a highlight of Monday Night RAW, but his sudden and unexplained attack on Zayn raises more questions than it answers.
McIntyre’s silence in the days following his return has only added to the mystery, leaving fans to speculate about his motivations and intentions. In a video shared on social media, McIntyre claimed that everything being said about him was “utter nonsense,” hinting that there’s more to his story than meets the eye. While McIntyre’s statement has helped to fuel the gossip mill, it’s clear that WWE still has some explaining to do. The Scottish Warrior’s next move will be crucial in determining the trajectory of this storyline, and fans are eagerly awaiting his next appearance on Monday Night RAW to get some answers.
Russo’s comments have left many fans wondering if WWE is trying to create a new angle that will help revive the storyline. However, it’s clear that WWE’s creative direction has been confusing, and fans are left with more questions than answers. The fate of McIntyre’s character hangs in the balance, as does the credibility of WWE’s creative team. As the wrestling world waits with bated breath for McIntyre’s next move, Russo’s words serve as a stark reminder of the importance of a strong narrative in professional wrestling.
The question on everyone’s mind is whether WWE will seize this chance to reboot and revitalize the storyline before it’s too late. Will they continue down the path of creative destruction, or will they take a step back and re-evaluate their approach? Only time will tell.
