WWE Discussing Drew McIntyre Return With Internal Push To Place Him On Raw

Overview

• WrestleVotes reported on October 8 that WWE is discussing ideas to bring Drew McIntyre back to television and that internal sentiment favors putting him on Monday Night Raw.
• That report says a creative plan to reintegrate McIntyre was in place in late August but was later changed, though details of the original plan and the reason for the shift were not disclosed.
• No official return date has been announced and it remains unclear whether the late‑August change in plans was tied to McIntyre’s outside film work or other booking considerations.
• McIntyre has not wrestled since WrestleMania 42 in April and has told reporters he filmed three movies during his time away; a September training video at Rusev’s Kech Pro Wrestling Academy increased public speculation about his readiness.
• Where McIntyre lands matters for WWE’s main event picture because Raw’s top title scene is viewed internally as more in need of a proven challenger, so his eventual placement could alter upcoming programs and rivalries.
