As per John Alba of the Living The Gimmick podcast, the original plan for Bray Wyatt after his return was to feud with Drew McIntyre at SummerSlam this year.

"I had reported this on @theLTGpodcast Patreon a few weeks ago, but Bray Wyatt/Drew McIntyre had at least been pitched for SummerSlam at one point. I'm not sure how far those discussions went, but it was talked about at one point," John Alba shared.

McIntyre is currently embroiled in a rivalry with Jinder Mahal and his lackeys on RAW. It's disappointing that WWE would throw away a money-making program like McIntyre vs. Wyatt and give the fans a staid feud between The Scottish Warrior and The Maharaja instead.
