An injured WWE star has officially returned on SmackDown. Following a two-month absence due to an injury he suffered during a Steel Cage match against Damian Priest, Drew McIntyre, also known as the Scottish Warrior, made his WWE SmackDown comeback. Shortly after the most recent Raw program, he made a reappearance on a pre-recorded episode shot in Pittsburgh.

McIntyre challenged well-known WWE stars Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton during the segment, implying a major plot point concerning the King of the Ring competition finals.

Prior to his injury, McIntyre was mostly focused on the US Championship, competing against Damian Priest, LA Knight, and Jacob Fatu. His return has sparked conjecture about his potential re-entry into the world title picture, especially in light of his run-ins with elite athletes like Rhodes and Orton. Fans are eagerly for the stories to develop, and McIntyre's involvement may result in some intriguing WWE events.

To find out more about McIntyre's intentions, viewers will have to wait until the episode's formal screening. Given how well-known the Scottish Warrior has been within the organisation, his return is a turning point for WWE. Future feuds and bouts may be set up by the possible changes in the plot direction brought about by McIntyre's return.
