Drew McIntyre to join The Judgment Day at WWE Crown Jewel 2023, veteran predicts

In the world of WWE, where surprises are the norm, a sensational twist might be on the horizon. Drew McIntyre, who has been making waves with his recent aggressive streak, is set to clash with Seth “Freakin” Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship at WWE Crown Jewel. While fans eagerly await the outcome, rumors swirl around Drew’s contract situation.
Bill Apter, a wrestling veteran, recently dropped a speculative bombshell during an episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling’s UnSKripted. He pondered the possibility of Drew McIntyre winning the title, only to be blindsided by Money in the Bank holder Damian Priest. Such a twist could lead to McIntyre making a surprising heel turn and potentially joining The Judgment Day faction.
Apter mused, “What if he does that, and he becomes champion? We are talking about Damian Priest cashing in on Drew, then Drew becomes a member of The Judgment Day.”
Vince Russo believes Drew McIntyre will turn heel and join The Judgement Day
Vince Russo, another WWE veteran, shared a similar sentiment on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Legion of RAW. Russo envisioned The Judgment Day expanding its ranks, transforming into an even more dominant force. He believes that Drew McIntyre would be a prime candidate for this transformation, led by the enigmatic Eradicator, Rhea Ripley.
“To me, the best thing they are doing is if Rhea Ripley is trying to recruit everybody, she’s gotta get one, and you know to me, it looks like that one is gonna be Drew McIntyre, and you know what bro, if they do that, you know, at least it’ll be something, and maybe they do it… Maybe that’s where he (Drew McIntyre) helps Priest. No, I think basically it’s him and Seth (Rollins), that’s where he should accept the favor from Judgment Day,” Russo speculated.
With these intriguing speculations in the air, the WWE universe is left in suspense, eagerly anticipating the outcome of Drew McIntyre’s match against Seth Rollins at WWE Crown Jewel. Will this be the moment when The Judgment Day welcomes a new member in an unexpected twist of fate? WWE fans will have to wait and watch as the drama unfolds.
