In a surprising turn of events on “WWE Raw,” Drew McIntyre left the WWE Universe in shock by aligning himself with The Judgment Day, aiding Damian Priest and Finn Balor in retaining the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships. This unexpected alliance follows months of frustration for McIntyre, triggered by setbacks against The Bloodline, culminating in a critical loss to Roman Reigns at WWE Clash at the Castle 2022. McIntyre’s subsequent defeats to GUNTHER and Seth Rollins raised questions about his trajectory, leading to a shocking partnership. Former “Honorary Uce” Sami Zayn, in an interview on “WWE’s The Bump,” offered insights into McIntyre’s recent actions.
“To an extent, I can understand where he’s coming from,” commented Zayn. “If anybody could relate, actually, it’s me because I had a very similar experience going into a title fight with Roman Reigns [at Elimination Chamber]. With all the momentum in the world, it seemed like a lock. It’s very hard to come back close to winning a championship and then having it slip through your fingers. If you’re not careful, it could really, really, really play with your head. And I think that’s kind of the difference between Drew McIntyre and myself. I think we both experienced something kind of similar and just had different ways of dealing with it.”
While Zayn empathizes with McIntyre’s frustration following a devastating loss to Reigns, he emphasizes their divergent paths in coping with adversity. Zayn, after a heartbreaking defeat, went on to secure the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships with Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 39 night one. In contrast, McIntyre struggled to recover, leading to a surprising shift in his WWE trajectory.
“Maybe the fallout of everything that happened to him is obviously what led him to this decision. And obviously, he’s had a hard time letting go of everything that happened,” added Zayn. “I think he just blames Jey [Uso], which again, to an extent, I can understand because I’ve been in his shoes.”
