The ending of the recent WWE RAW left fans stunned when Drew McIntyre made a surprise return and attacked Sami Zayn. This occurred after the latter’s loss to Seth Rollins in a singles match.

As Rollins made his way out of the ring, Drew emerged and delivered a devastating Claymore. This article will explore three reasons why the Scottish Warrior returned on RAW this week.


#3. Drew McIntyre might be angry with CM Punk getting more attention

CM Punk has been the talk of the town over the past few weeks due to his ongoing storyline with The Bloodline. The pairing of Punk and Roman Reigns has generated massive social media engagement, and the name of the Second City Saint is everywhere.

With Punk gaining so much attention, it’s clear that Drew McIntyre isn’t pleased. As a result, he decided to return to WWE RAW to grab some of the spotlight for himself.


#2. Drew might've arrived to settle his unfinished business with the OG Bloodline members

The rivalry between Drew McIntyre and the Bloodline seems neverending, as Roman Reigns' faction has cost the Scottish Warrior several major opportunities. Now that Drew has seemingly settled his issues with CM Punk, it's likely that he will refocus on the Bloodline and settle the score with them.

This could also explain why Drew McIntyre attacked Sami Zayn upon his return to the red brand.


#1. McIntyre might return only to attack OG Bloodline member for siding with CM Punk

The alliance between Roman Reigns and CM Punk was a one-time deal for both stars, but the situation is different with Punk and the other Bloodline members. During the opening of the recent RAW, the Best in the World shared a handshake with Jey Uso and Sami Zayn.

This indicates that the OG Bloodline members have a good relationship with him. Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins share a similar hatred for CM Punk, which could be the motivation behind the return of the Scottish Warrior. With the OG Bloodline members siding with Punk, this likely didn’t sit well with Drew.

As a result, the Scottish Warrior returned to WWE RAW to attack Sami Zayn, sending a message about what could happen if they continue aligning with CM Punk. This could plant seeds for a match between Reigns and McIntyre in the near future.
