Just when you thought it was safe to put the Claymore away, Drew McIntyre stormed back into Monday Night Raw like a vengeful Highland storm. After months off the grid following his Hell in a Cell loss to CM Punk at Bad Blood, the “Scottish Psychopath” re-emerged in dramatic fashion to close out the show — and Sami Zayn was his unsuspecting victim.
The night began with Seth Rollins challenging CM Punk while simultaneously throwing shade at the Original Bloodline. This led to Zayn stepping up in defense of his fellow “Uce,” setting the stage for a heated main event. But things took a turn backstage when Jey Uso was mysteriously attacked, leaving the Bloodline’s ranks rattled. Naturally, suspicion and side-eyes were tossed around like steel chairs at a no-DQ match.
The main event was as chaotic as you’d expect. Sami Zayn, wielding a chair like he was auditioning for Stomp, berated Rollins mid-match, accusing him of taking out Uso. Rollins denied it and tossed the blame toward CM Punk because, let’s face it, Punk is usually the guy people point fingers at in these situations. The distraction gave Rollins the opening to roll up Zayn for the win, proving once again that wrestling’s deadliest weapon isn’t a finisher — it’s confusion.
As Rollins exited, hooded and brooding Drew McIntyre appeared out of nowhere like a Scottish Batman, delivering a thunderous Claymore to Zayn. The crowd erupted as McIntyre stood tall over the fallen “Honorary Uce,” signaling his return to the red brand and possibly injecting himself into the Bloodline drama.
Between mystery beatdowns, unresolved grudges, and Drew’s hoodie-clad ambush, WWE Raw is starting to feel like a hybrid of a soap opera and a crime procedural. Stay tuned, folks — this saga is just getting started.
