Drew McIntyre the Scottish Warrior orchestrated a heel turn altering the landscape of WWE storylines. The Capital One Arena in Washington, DC, witnessed McIntyre’s calculated move as he aided The Judgment Day’s Finn Bálor and Damian Priest in retaining the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship. The night unfolded with McIntyre extending a handshake to reigning WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley solidifying a partnership that has left the WWE Universe buzzing.

The heel turn as reported by Fightful Select wasn’t a spontaneous development but a carefully planned move that had been brewing internally for “at least a couple of months.” McIntyre fresh from an unsuccessful bid for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Seth “Freakin” Rollins at Crown Jewel 2023 is now poised for a significant role in the upcoming men’s WarGames match at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2023.

The Judgment Day comprising Bálor, Priest, “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio, and JD McDonagh, is slated to face Rollins, Sami Zayn, Cody Rhodes, and Jey Uso in the traditional five-on-five WarGames match a spectacle known for its intensity and unpredictability. The fifth member of Rollins’ team remains shrouded in mystery adding an element of suspense leading up to the premium live event on November 25.
