In a surprising turn of events on this week’s “WWE Raw,” Drew McIntyre, after aiding The Judgment Day in retaining the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship, cemented his heel turn with a handshake shared with reigning WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley. The twist, as reported by Fightful Select, was not a spontaneous act but a carefully planned internal maneuver that had been brewing for “at least a couple of months.”
Fresh off an unsuccessful bid for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WWE Crown Jewel 2023, McIntyre is poised for a comeback with a strategic alliance. The Scottish Warrior is gearing up to team up with The Judgment Day in the men’s WarGames match at the upcoming WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2023. This traditionally five-on-five bout promises intense action as McIntyre aligns himself with Finn Bálor, Damian Priest, “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio, and JD McDonagh.
The stage is set for an epic clash at Survivor Series: WarGames, where The Judgment Day, comprising Bálor, Priest, Mysterio, and McDonagh, will face off against WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth “Freakin” Rollins, Sami Zayn, Cody Rhodes, and Jey Uso in the two-ring cage bout. Fightful Select hints at a suspenseful revelation, noting that the identity of the fifth member of Rollins’ team will be disclosed before the event.
As “Raw” concluded, Drew McIntyre took to social media, posting a photo of the handshake with Ripley and captioning it, “Daddy’s home. #WWERaw.” The cryptic message adds an intriguing layer to McIntyre’s character shift, leaving fans speculating about the implications of this newfound alliance.
WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray shared his thoughts on McIntyre’s heel turn, describing McIntyre and Ripley as a potential “power couple” on SiriusXM’s “Busted Open Radio.” This unforeseen partnership adds an element of unpredictability to the unfolding narrative, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the developments in McIntyre’s intriguing journey in the WWE.
