[SPOILERS] Top faction unexpectedly comes to Drew McIntyre's aid on RAW after returning star takes him out

Drew McIntyre had an extremely busy night on December 16 - both for the episode of RAW airing that week and for the following week. In a huge moment (Spoiler Warning), a top faction came to his aid after a returning star took him out.

*Warning: The following article contains spoilers for the December 23rd episode of RAW. If you don't wish to see the spoilers, we suggest you exit the article at this point.*

The brawl between Sami Zayn and Drew McIntyre on the latest episode of RAW directly played into the next week's show, which was pre-taped. There was a promo that McIntyre cut where Jey Uso returned to help Sami Zayn.

Although Drew McIntyre beat Sami Zayn for the 18th time in three years on the pre-taped episode, Jey Uso speared him to make a statement. However, in an unexpected move, The Bloodline appeared on RAW to take Sami Zayn and Jey Uso out - coming to McIntyre's aid.

This is a bit surprising because among the five names that McIntyre is targeting on his revenge tour - Solo Sikoa is one of them. The leader of The Bloodline was directly responsible for costing him the Universal Championship at Clash at the Castle 2022 in Wales.

The other names are Sami Zayn, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, and Roman Reigns - with the OTC likely being the final goal. In another major spoiler moment for SmackDown this week, McIntyre had a segment involving The Bloodline.

This means that we will see a follow-up on everything that has unfolded.
