Has WWE spoiled Drew McIntyre’s return date? Potential hint dropped

Since losing to CM Punk at Bad Blood 2024, Drew McIntyre has yet to reappear on WWE programming. Many believe that the Scottish Warrior is currently on a brief break from the Stamford-based promotion and could return soon.

However, it seems that WWE may have already spoiled the return date of McIntyre, as he is presently being advertised for the October 21, 2024, edition of WWE RAW. This episode of RAW is set to take place at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

At present, WWE is publicizing six major names for the show. This includes World Heavyweight Champion Gunther, Intercontinental Champion Jey Uso, and Women's World Champion Liv Morgan. In addition to that, Seth Rollins, Rhea Ripley, and Drew McIntyre are also being advertised for this episode of RAW. The promotion of a superstar for a specific show is usually a clear indication of their participation.

This implies that fans may witness the return of Drew McIntyre on next week's episode of Monday Night RAW. However, it's noteworthy to cite that cards are always subject to change, especially in WWE shows. Therefore, it’s also conceivable that Drew McIntyre was advertised for this show even before Bad Blood, and WWE may not have removed him from the promotion.

Will Drew McIntyre be part of Crown Jewel 2024?

The forthcoming Premium Live Event of WWE is Crown Jewel 2024. This PLE is set to broadcast live on Saturday, November 2, 2024, at the Mohammed Abdo Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. With Drew McIntyre's return evidently spoiled for next week, it has piqued interest about whether The Scottish Warrior will be part of this year’s Saudi Arabia show.

If McIntyre returns on next week’s RAW, he still has a high probability of being included in Crown Jewel 2024. Drew is one of the biggest names on the red brand, and WWE wouldn't want to miss the opportunity to add him to the Saudi Arabia card. After McIntyre’s potential return next week, WWE still has one more episode left on October 28, 2024, before the event.

This gives the Stamford-based promotion enough time to build a match for The Scottish Warrior. There's no telling who McIntyre will go after next. He could even make an appearance on the PLE and go after World Heavyweight Champion Gunther once he is done with his match against Cody Rhodes.
