7-time WWE Champion could make final RAW appearance before potential SmackDown move

Drew McIntyre’s presence on tonight’s penultimate RAW before the Netflix debut could mark his final appearance on Monday nights. Recent weeks have seen McIntyre expand his presence on SmackDown, targeting members of The OG Bloodline and suggesting a potential brand switch when WWE’s transfer window opens in early January.

The seven-time champion’s current storyline, centered on his vendetta against Roman Reigns and The Bloodline, aligns more closely with SmackDown’s roster. However, McIntyre may continue appearing on RAW through its Netflix premiere on January 6, maintaining his presence across both brands until the official roster changes take effect.

McIntyre’s decorated career includes two WWE Championships, one World Heavyweight Championship, one NXT Championship, one Intercontinental Championship, and two RAW Tag Team Championships. His potential move would strengthen SmackDown’s roster heading into 2025.

Jey Uso set for RAW return amid Bloodline tensions

Following weeks of targeted attacks by Drew McIntyre, Jey Uso prepares to make his return to Monday Night RAW. McIntyre’s systematic assault on The OG Bloodline members has included attacks on both Sami Zayn and Jimmy Uso, with Zayn falling to defeat at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

The anticipated confrontation between Jey Uso and McIntyre could culminate in a match on RAW’s Netflix debut rather than extending to Royal Rumble 2025.

Their last encounter occurred at Money in the Bank in July 2024, before McIntyre’s rivalry with CM Punk and Jey’s pursuit of the Intercontinental Championship.
