WATCH: Former WWE World Champion Makes Surprise Return, Has Target In Sight

He’s back! There are all kinds of reasons for a wrestler to take a break from the ring. It might be anything from a creative issue to an injury to a contract problem to all points in between. What matters the most is getting everyone on the same page and having someone come back. It can be a huge moment when they do, and that was the case this weekend.

At Money In The Bank 2023, Gunther successfully defended his Intercontinental Title against Matt Riddle. Following the match, Drew McIntyre returned for the first time in nearly three months and attacked Gunther. This marks the end of a three month hiatus for McIntyre, who has been out of action due to a contract/creative dispute, as well as recovering from some injuries. There is no word on if McIntyre has agreed to a new deal with WWE.

It was a big one. Check out the return, plus what McIntyre can do:

Opinion: This is a big relief for WWE as when someone leaves like McIntyre did, you never know when they might come back. It can be a big moment to have them back and that is exactly what we had with this return. Odds are we’re getting McIntyre vs. Gunther one on one at Summerslam and that should be a heck of a showdown with a worthy challenger. Hopefully everyone involved is happy and can keep going, as McIntyre was already gone long enough.
