Update On WWE Return Plans For Drew McIntyre: Could The ‘Scottish Psycho’ Return At Saturday Night’s Main Event?

He’s been out since losing Hell In A Cell, but we have an update on WWE return plans for Drew McIntyre.

It was the end of a bitter feud, one of the nastiest programs of 2024. CM Punk and Drew McIntyre spent much of the year engaged in battle, and it culminated in September’s Hell In A Cell match during the Bad Blood PLE.

Both men left Atlanta bloodied, but we’ve only seen CM Punk since that point. We had heard reports that McIntyre was given time off to recover and for personal reasons. At that point, there was no word about the timing of a possible return. Now we have news on “Scottish Psycho’s” status after Hell in a Cell.

No timeline set for Drew McIntyre’s return but plans are now in the early stages

According to PWInsider, there is still no exact return date being talked about. At least, none that anyone is sharing with those sources. But there are creative plans being kicked around for a Drew McIntyre return to WWE. Such talks make it sound like the return could happen sooner rather than later.

Given that we are now in December and the WWE PLE schedule is completed for 2024 when could it make sense for a return? The Royal Rumble looms large but is also 2 months away. Could we see Drew McIntyre show up at Saturday Night’s Main Event? Or, if that remains too soon, there is that massive Netflix debut in January for RAW, too.

Or, whenever the WWE creative team feels a return is warranted. After all, everyone will expect returns for the Netflix debut. We will expect a surprise return or two for the Rumble too, as always.

Bigger than the when? Who might Drew want a piece of next? It seems likely that he and Punk are as done as done can be…so then what? Would WWE set up McIntyre for a shot at Gunther, perhaps? I wouldn’t mind that. Stay tuned, it shouldn’t be long until we see the WWE return of Drew McIntyre.
