NEW DELHI: Drew McIntyre embraced his darker side by aligning himself with The Judgment Day. The revelation unfolded during the closing moments of the tag team championship match between Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes versus Damian Priest and Finn Balor.
With the remaining members of the WarGames team banned from the arena, McIntyre seized the opportunity, delivering a decisive Claymore Kick to Jey Uso, ensuring The Judgment Day retained their titles. The shocking moment concluded with McIntyre visibly shaking hands with Rhea Ripley, confirming his allegiance to the notorious faction.
Ripley’s persistent efforts to recruit McIntyre over the past few weeks finally came to fruition, reshaping the landscape of WWE and adding a layer of intrigue leading up to Survivor Series. While McIntyre’s official status within The Judgment Day remains uncertain, his heel turn introduces a fresh energy to his character and sets the stage for a potentially remarkable run in the bad guy role.
This unexpected development also poses critical implications for Survivor Series, with the possibility of McIntyre joining The Judgment Day’s WarGames team, setting the stage for a potentially explosive 5v5 men’s War Games match.
As Cody Rhodes and his team find themselves short of one member at four, speculation arises regarding the fifth spot. While Randy Orton is a popular choice, teases of a potential surprise, possibly involving CM Punk, have further heightened anticipation for the upcoming pay-per-view event.
