Drew McIntyre has made it clear that he wants to settle unfinished scores with Roman Reigns upon his return to WWE . The Scottish Warrior also mocked the idea that, to defeat Reigns, he might have to bring his sword back to deal with Reigns’ large family, The Bloodline. Recently, McIntyre has shared his plans to return to WWE, claiming WWE and fans need him more than he needs them. The Scottish Warrior is currently busy pursuing acting opportunities in Hollywood, including projects such as Highlander and The Last Druid. Let’s take a look at what McIntyre has to say about his wish for a match against Reigns. WWE star Drew McIntyre, who has been absent for a long time, wants to settle unfinished scores with Roman Reigns upon his return to WWE. He has expressed his desire to beat Roman Reigns once he returns to WWE. Speaking on Going Ringside, “I’ll slap them around once I get back. I’m sure Punk will like to be like, ‘Hey, I did some stuff too. I’m like, ‘What? Where would I even see your stuff. I don’t know, I’d have to search real hard. Roman’s got the Street Fighter out right now so he’s doing some big things. But I think I’ll eclipse him in that area. The former WWE Champion has been working on several projects outside wrestling, including Agent of Shadows , while fans continue to await an update on his return to the ring. Drew McIntyre joked about bringing back his sword to deal with Roman Reigns. Given the extensive history of The Bloodline’s involvement in Reigns’ matches, McIntyre joked that he might need to bring back his sword. I can’t say I had the sword in WWE for years, I never used it. Shockingly, PG product. But Agent of Shadows, I’m telling you right now, I finally used the sword. McIntyre challenged Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in Cardiff, Wales, and came close to winning in front of his home crowd. In the meantime, Solo Sikoa interfered at a crucial moment, preventing McIntyre from capitalizing on his opportunity. Reigns eventually retained the championship, leaving McIntyre without the victory he had hoped to secure. With McIntyre now expressing his desire to defeat Reigns, a potential rematch could provide an opportunity to revisit their rivalry. However, as of now, there is no such plan chalked out by WWE, and the Scottish Warrior remains focused on his acting career, but his latest comments suggest that Roman Reigns will be among the names on his list when he returns to WWE.
