The Scottish Warrior Wastes No Time Making an Impact
Summary
– Drew McIntyre is officially part of WWE SmackDown
– He faces LA Knight and Jimmy Uso in a triple threat match tonight
– A Men’s Elimination Chamber spot is on the line
Drew McIntyre has arrived on SmackDown and is not interested in theatrics—just opportunities. WWE shared footage of SmackDown GM Nick Aldis formally welcoming McIntyre to the blue brand, marking the start of a new chapter for The Scottish Warrior.
McIntyre clarified his intentions, stating he doesn’t need elaborate celebrations or fireworks—just a chance to prove himself. Aldis wasted no time granting that request, immediately placing McIntyre in a triple threat match against LA Knight and Jimmy Uso, with the winner earning a spot in the Men’s Elimination Chamber.
This move follows reported backstage frustrations from McIntyre after a mistimed elimination at the Royal Rumble. With a renewed focus, he has a direct path to WrestleMania 41. But first, he’ll have to outlast two of SmackDown’s top competitors.
