Backstage news on Drew McIntyre following his return to WWE television has surfaced.
McIntyre was revealed as the final member of Team Flair on Monday’s episode of RAW by the WWE Hall of Famer in the opening segment of the show before he wrestled his first match back after being sidelined.
He beat Ricochet in a singles match. Ricochet will be on Team Hogan.
During the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, it was noted that this match was all about getting McIntyre over and not to push the Team Hogan vs. Team Flair match at WWE Crown Jewel.
As of this writing, there’s no word yet on exactly where WWE creative is going with both stars or if they have plans for the feud to continue after Crown Jewel.
What was noted is the fact that officials are high on both McIntyre and Ricochet and have plans to give them strong pushes.
Prior to going down with an injury that resulted in him getting surgery to fix, WWE officials have wanted to push McIntyre in a big way. That’s one of the reasons he underwent surgery that caused him to be out of action as they want him to be on television heading into WrestleMania season.
WWE is trying to get McIntyre over for a top spot on RAW at this time. Thus, the reason that he went over Ricochet. It was added that WWE is saving Ricochet’s run at the top for later down the line as Ricochet is more of a long-term project.
