As a fan who has been following WWE for over two decades now, I can’t help but feel a bit skeptical about the latest rumors regarding Drew McIntyre‘s return. You see, I’ve learned to read between the lines after all these years – and something just doesn’t sit right with me about this update.
As WWE events approach swiftly, it’s tough not to get excited for the commencement of WrestleMania season! With major shows looming, fans who enjoyed last year’s events might find themselves asking: when will Drew McIntyre reappear? Recent gossip from an inside source offers some information, but I must admit my doubts for a few key reasons.
Previously, the Highland Combatant was spotted in WWE during a Hell In A Cell bout opposite CM Punk. This encounter garnered praise from wrestling enthusiasts and left McIntyre with such severe injuries that he required sixteen stitches in his skull. Since then, he’s been absent from the brand, but there’s a strong sense of anticipation among fans as they tune into Monday Night Raw, streaming on Netflix. So, what’s the current estimate for his comeback? Here’s the latest gossip in the air.
What The Rumored Status Is For Drew McIntyre’s WWE Return
Drew McIntyre’s future in-ring appearance isn’t finalized yet, as his team hasn’t made any concrete plans. However, ideas have been proposed about how to direct his creative return. This suggests that we might not see the ex-champion soon, but I find it a bit odd that this update is coming out now.
Why I’m Very Skeptical Of This Update And Think McIntyre Will Return Sooner
In TopMob’s Survivor Series forecast, Mack Rawden predicts The OG Bloodline and CM Punk will triumph over the fresh Bloodline and Bronson Reed. I concur with this prediction, but have often pondered the reasoning behind incorporating Punk and Reed into the match. Given that neither character is currently linked to the Bloodline narrative, I speculate that their inclusion could be a prelude to introducing two other significant figures into the storyline.
Recently, I praised Bronson Reed and Seth Rollins for having the top feud in WWE for 2024, and it seems that CM Punk and Drew McIntyre weren’t too far off. However, it’s quite surprising if these four individuals end up in a Survivor Series match with minimal ties to either of them. If I were to wager, I’d predict some external interference might occur, and Rollins and McIntyre could potentially seize the opportunity during the main event to make their move.

For McIntyre, his ongoing conflict with Punk seems to revolve predominantly around unexpected appearances and attacks on each other. If there was an opportune moment to remove him from the wrestling scene, it would arguably be when he’s struggling against the formidable Bloodline, headed by Solo Sikoa, in a life-or-death battle.
It’s plausible that some fans may believe the conflict between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre has reached its end, considering how impressive their HIAC match was. Yet, this seems more like a deeply personal grudge, stemming from Punk’s real arm injury that prevented him from competing at WrestleMania 40 and Punk’s lost Money In The Bank cash-in. I suspect there’s still unresolved tension in this feud that could carry over into the WrestleMania season, given the lack of clear future paths for either wrestler. Time will tell, but it seems Drew’s comeback might be imminent.
The Survivor Series begins on Peacock this coming Saturday, November 30, with streaming starting at 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time. We’ll find out whether Drew McIntyre will be there or if he’ll show up later in the event.
