Former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre is possibly returning to WWE programming ending his hiatus.
‘The Scottish Warrior’ has been advertised for tonight’s edition of SmackDown in Lexington, KY, according to promotional material on WWE.com.
McIntyre is also prominently featured on promotional material for the May 29 edition of SmackDown in Barcelona, Spain. That show serves as WWE’s final stop before the Clash in Italy premium live event on May 31 at Inalpi Arena in Turin.
What’s Next For Drew McIntyre
McIntyre’s last WWE appearance came at WrestleMania 42, where he competed in an unsanctioned match against Jacob Fatu.
WWE’s use of McIntyre in advertising for upcoming international SmackDown events has naturally sparked speculation that he could return in time for the Italy premium live event weekend. Jacob Fatu is currently set to face Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship at Clash in Italy later this month.
For now, WWE has not officially confirmed McIntyre’s return. As always with WWE promotional material, appearances remain subject to change.
