The ongoing saga between Drew McIntyre and The OG Bloodline, a faction steeped in Samoan heritage, has taken a violent turn. In a supriseing move, Drew McIntyre, a 39-year-old WWE star, ambushed an injured Jimmy Uso on a recent episode of SmackDown, leaving fans wondering what sparked this sudden act of aggression.
The path to this confrontation began a few years ago when Drew McIntyre clashed with The Bloodline on Friday Night SmackDown. The Scottish Warrior faced a daunting task as he struggled to overcome the numbers advantage the Samoan faction held over him. McIntyre’s defeats were a source of frustration, and his failure to emerge victorious left a lasting impression on the crowd.
Fast forward to the current era, where the OG Bloodline, comprising Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Paul Heyman, and Sami Zayn, reigned supreme, their collective prowess dominating the competitive terrain. However, despite their shared successes, cracks began to form, and the group’s first iteration ultimately disbanded.
Despite their differences, remnants of the original Bloodline occasionally collaborated, even triumphing in the WarGames match against Solo Sikoa’s faction earlier this month. This development, however, failed to sit well with Drew McIntyre, who had recently returned to WWE. On the heels of this return, Drew blindsided Jey Uso on Monday Night RAW, further sowing discord within the Bloodline.
It wasn’t long before Drew turned his attention to Sami Zayn, attacking the former NXT Champion, and the two have been embroiled in a heated feud on the red brand. Their rivalry will soon reach its climax, as they face off in a one-on-one bout at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Responding to the attack on Jimmy Uso, Drew McIntyre addressed the situation on SmackDown LowDown, confidently asserting that he will now do what he wants, when he wants. McIntyre, who has spent seventeen years in the professional wrestling market, believes his contributions and sacrifices warrant him taking control of the situation.
As the Bloodline continues to fray, it is clear that Drew McIntyre sees an opportunity to capitalize on the faction’s internal strife. Whether his actions will ultimately prove fruitful or backfire remains to be seen, but one thing is certain – the tension between Drew McIntyre and The OG Bloodline has escalated, and fans are eager to witness the fireworks that will undoubtedly ensue.
