The WarGames 2024 event was a chaotic spectacle that had fans on the edge of their seats, with a series of intense matches that showcased the best of WWE. As the action unfolded, a notable mention surfaced when Michael Cole dropped a bombshell during one of the matches. Cole, the usual calm and collected commentator, seemed visibly shaken to mention Drew McIntyre, sparking a flurry of speculation about the Scottish Warrior’s return to the ring.

For those who might have forgotten, Drew’s last notable appearance was during the Bad Blood 2024 event, where he clashed with the punk-rock persona CM Punk in a grueling Hell in a Cell Match. The bout had no stakes attached to it in the classical sense, but the level of intensity and ferocity displayed by both men made it feel like a high-stakes affair. Punk, being the rebellious outsider he is, took it upon himself to use a toolbox to attack McIntyre, leaving him with a nasty head injury.

Fast-forward to the current moment, and Michael Cole is still reeling from the effects of that brutal encounter. As Roman Reigns rushed out of his cage shoving the Best in the World, Cole couldn’t help but comment on the last time someone used a toolbox to attack The Scottish Warrior. In a nod to the past, Cole mentioned Drew McIntyre’s name, which sent the rumor mill spinning.

As of now, there have been whispers about a possible return to the ring for McIntyre, but nothing has been officially confirmed. It remains an open question as to when he will be back in action, and what kind of storyline he will be involved in once he does return.

Given the high level of excitement surrounding McIntyre’s potential return, fans are eagerly awaiting any development that might shed light on his status in the WWE. For the time being, all we can do is speculate and wait for more news to trickle in.
