WWE planning Drew McIntyre return to Raw, Money in the Bank details emerge

"

What is WWE planning for Drew McIntyre’s long-awaited return? Let’s see what today’s rumors have to say about it! Top rumor of the day: Drew McIntyre is moving to Raw Drew McIntyre has been off WWE programming since he lost an unsanctioned match against Jacob Fatu at WrestleMania 42 in April. McIntyre was on the SmackDown roster at the time, but that might be changing very soon. According to WrestleVotes Radio, there are ongoing discussions in WWE about Drew’s comeback taking place on Raw. There is a belief that Raw can use the star power more than SmackDown right now, which is one reason why this change is being strongly considered. It sounds like in late August WWE actually had a plan in place for Drew’s return, but a creative change ended up nixing that idea. With The Vision, The Judgment Day, and 946 all on Raw right now, there are plenty of factions around for Drew to potentially join if and when he shows up on Raw. Or maybe he’s best off as a singles star going after Roman Reigns. Regardless, it sounds like we won’t have to wait much longer to see DM Hunk back on WWE programming. The rest of the rumors! After hearing from a source, WrestleVotes is under the impression that WWE Creative’s favorites in tomorrow night’s Money in the Bank ladder matches are Penta and Bron Breakker on the men’s side, and Lash Legend and Roxanne Perez on the women’s side. At one point there was apparently an idea for Trick Williams to win the men’s ladder match, but that is no longer the case. Speaking of Money in the Bank, Votes mentioned that World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns vs. LA Knight is expected to be the main event of Saturday’s PLE. The outlet also says the promo battle between Reigns and Knight on this week’s Raw received “considerable acclaim” from people backstage at WWE. They were particularly impressed with the level of emotion displayed by Reigns, and are talking about how to harness that into his character work going forward. Per Fightful Select, it sounds like some people in WWE are concerned that fan speculation about the return of Enzo Amore is “hampering what creative can do with Big Cass” as a singles star right now. For whatever it’s worth, Self Made Sessions’ Ibou said he thinks the Hurt Syndicate’s run as a “serious act” in AEW is essentially done, and they’ll just “show up intermittently on Collision to do random things” from here.
