Drew McIntyre roared back into action at Saturday Night’s Main Event, marking his WWE return with a decisive victory over Sami Zayn. After weeks of simmering tension—and more sneak attacks than a spy movie—the Scottish Warrior and the self-proclaimed Honorary Uce finally collided in an explosive match that shook the Nassau Coliseum to its foundation.
This wasn’t just a match; it was a grudge-fueled war. McIntyre had been simmering since Zayn’s controversial decision to reunite with the original Bloodline at Survivor Series: WarGames. While Zayn’s allegiance may have earned him Roman Reigns’ approval, it also earned him a one-way ticket to Claymore Town, population: Zayn.
A Pre-Match Brawl for the Ages
Before the bell even rang, Zayn ambushed McIntyre like he owed him money. The fiery start had McIntyre still in his ring jacket as Zayn delivered a flurry of punches. But McIntyre, clearly powered by the spirits of Scottish ancestors and possibly a protein-packed haggis breakfast, turned the tide. With one mighty toss, Zayn went flying over the announce desk, and the crowd erupted.
Hard-Hitting Highlights
The match saw a rollercoaster of momentum:
- Zayn countered McIntyre’s top-rope White Noise attempt with a jaw-dropping sunset flip powerbomb, proving he’s as crafty as he is resilient.
- McIntyre responded with his signature Glasgow Kiss, reminding Zayn that headbutts are a cultural export of Scotland.
- After Zayn’s Blue Thunder Bomb almost sealed the deal, McIntyre lured his opponent into the ultimate trap—a perfectly timed Claymore that sent Zayn crashing down faster than ticket prices after a botched concert.
Three seconds later, McIntyre stood victorious, proving once again that he’s not just back—he’s better, meaner, and ready to remind the WWE Universe why he’s one of its top warriors.
