CM Punk finally returned with Paul Heyman to show his domination in the Survivor Series, but one of his biggest rivals, Drew McIntyre, has been off WWE’s radar since Bad Blood.
While CM Punk’s return sparked plenty of buzz, McIntyre faded from the spotlight. Now, it looks like he won’t stay away from the company for much longer.
According to a new report from Mike Johnson of PWInsider, WWE has started discussing McIntyre’s return. While nothing is confirmed yet, there have been talks about his comeback and what direction his storyline could take.
PWInsider has stated that creative discussions have begun for Drew McIntyre's return.

Drew McIntyre needed 16 stitches after his Hell in a Cell match at Bad Blood, and he took some time off to take care of his family. Now that conversations are underway, supporters may expect his return soon.
With Survivor Series approaching, it’s possible McIntyre could make a surprise appearance, as WWE is known for unexpected moments.
What could be Drew McIntyre’s possible next feud?
As news spreads about the return of “The Scottish Warrior,” fans are buzzing with excitement and wondering who Drew McIntyre will feud with next. A possible rivalry could be with any of the champions, especially the heavyweight champion, which Drew has been eyeing for a long time.
Now that his feud with Punk is over, there’s a good chance Drew will target the heavyweight title upon his return. One potential rivalry fans are speculating about is with Damian Priest, especially if Priest wins the heavyweight title from Gunther at Survivor Series WarGames.
This is a crazy 90 second run.

After all, it was Priest who cashed in his ‘Money in the Bank’ contract and took the title from Drew at WrestleMania 40, making this feud even more fitting.
If Gunther retains the title, a face-off between him and Drew would be exciting. Gunther himself has said that a match with Drew would be “very exciting for our audience.” Whatever storyline WWE chooses for Drew, it’s sure to be thrilling.
"Drew McIntyre is a match that I think could be very exciting for our audience."
