In the recent episode of WWE RAW, Drew McIntyre earned another opportunity to finish his story at Money in the Bank 2024. The Scottish Warrior qualified for the Men's MITB ladder match. After securing the final spot, Drew made his intentions clear: He plans to cash in his MITB briefcase on the same day to claim the World Heavyweight Championship.
Many fans hoped that Ilja Dragunov could be the winner, but their expectations were unmet. In this article, we will discuss three possible reasons why the Scottish man won the final spot in the Money in the Bank ladder match.
#3. Drew McIntyre qualified for Money in the Bank just to get cost by CM Punk again
Trending
The rivalry between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre has been heating up in WWE for the past few months. After the Best in the World cost Drew at Clash at the Castle 2024, McIntyre destroyed Punk in front of the Chicago crowd on SmackDown, exacting his revenge.
However, it’s likely that when Drew is moments away from emerging as the victor at Money in the Bank 2024, the Voice of the Voiceless might surface again and cost McIntyre this opportunity. This angle will elevate the tension between these two to a new level and eventually set up a clash at SummerSlam 2024.
Besides that, there's also speculation that if not CM Punk, AJ Lee could make an unexpected appearance and cost Drew McIntyre. This possibility arises from the Scottish man's continued references to Lee in their storyline.
#2. WWE might actually want Drew to finish his story
Since losing his World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XL, Drew McIntyre has made every attempt to regain the title and finish his story. However, he has yet to succeed in becoming world champion again.
Being in the Men's Ladder match at Money in the Bank 2024 provides an excellent opportunity for the Scottish Warrior to achieve this goal. This could be done by winning the MITB briefcase and cashing it in on the same day.
One of the reasons behind Drew's victory on tonight's RAW could be to set up his potential world title win at MITB. This would give McIntyre the moment he has been striving for, bringing his journey full circle and giving fans a climactic conclusion to his quest for gold.
#1. Drew McIntyre is qualified just to get replaced at the very last moment
The Scottish Warrior has secured his spot in the Men's MITB ladder match after his victory on tonight's RAW. However, Drew's qualifications might be set up to create a dramatic twist.
This assumption arises with the probability that CM Punk could make a surprise appearance on the show before the ladder match and launch a brutal assault on Drew.
This pre-match attack could render Drew McIntyre unable to compete in the Men's Money in the Bank ladder match, leading to his replacement at the last moment. This shocking development would allow WWE to add an unexpected element to the premium live event.
