Drew McIntyre Returns At WWE Money In The Bank 2023

WWE

A surprise return at tonight’s WWE premium live event, Money in the Bank after a big Intercontinental Championship title defense.

While GUNTHER faced off against Matt Riddle in a match for the Intercontinental Championship, the Ring General was able to successfully defend the belt, his night was far from over.

After being declared the winner, GUNTHER’s celebration was cut short by a thunderous crowd reaction for an easily recognized theme song as it hit for the excited London crowd.

Drew McIntyre was back in WWE and came to the ring in search of the Intercontinental Champ, GUNTHER.

With Wade Barrett on commentary noting that the rumors and questions about Drew’s future with the company could now be put to bed, Michael Cole added, “The rumors of Drew McIntyre’s demise in WWE are not true.”

McIntyre has been out of action since WrestleMania 39, initially dealing with injury issues, however with contract rumors plaguing his recent absence.

The return comes on the heels of questions about McIntyre’s future with WWE, as his contract is known to be up in February with recent reports that he and the company were far apart on agreeing to a new deal and he may not return ahead of the contract expiration unless there were creative plans that he agreed to.

Particularly being kept a closely guarded secret, McIntyre was specifically not spotted in London in advance of the event nor have any reports leaked of his return on tonight’s show in advance of his surprise appearance.

With Drew McIntyre coming to the ring and having a face off with GUNTHER, the champ would not end his Money in the Bank moment in triumph at all.

When GUNTHER shoved McIntyre, the Scot delivered a vicious Glasgow Kiss before a giant Claymore as London erupted into cheers for the returning star.
