Tonight's Monday Night RAW is set to be the penultimate episode of the show before its highly anticipated debut on Netflix. Several exciting matches and segments have been advertised for tonight. However, it could also see the departure of a seven-time WWE champion from the red brand, who could make his final RAW appearance tonight.
The star in question is Drew McIntyre. The Scottish Warrior has been on a rampage lately against the members of The OG Bloodline. He has made frequent appearances on SmackDown in recent weeks. Given his growing involvement on the blue brand, there is a good possibility that McIntyre could switch rosters during WWE's Transfer Window which is set to open in January's first week.
The former WWE Champion has been a part of the flagship show for more than a year. However, it seems he requires a fresh environment to continue his story. With his focus now on hunting down Roman Reigns and The OG Bloodline, both of which are on SmackDown, WWE could soon move him to the blue brand, rumors of which have been surfacing lately.
While the possibility of Friday nights becoming Drew McIntyre's new den is incredibly high, tonight may not be his last appearance on RAW. The 39-year-old could continue to appear on the upcoming episodes of the red brand until its debut on Netflix on January 6. Meanwhile, his storyline could continue on both brands for the time being until the roster shakeup.
McIntyre boasts a decorated resume as he is a two-time WWE Champion, one-time World Heavyweight Champion, one-time NXT Champion, one-time Intercontinental Champion, and two-time WWE RAW Tag Team Champion. He would be an incredible addition to the SmackDown roster in 2025.
Roman Reigns is set to face Solo Sikoa on WWE RAW's debut on Netflix next month in a match that will determine the future of the Bloodline saga. With both the title of The Tribal Chief and Ula Fala on the line, the stakes could not be any higher. However, Drew McIntyre could invade this bout, potentially costing Roman his high-stakes battle.
For the past few weeks, The Scottish Warrior has been hinting at his intentions to hunt down The OTC. He has already targeted Jey Uso, Sami Zayn, and Jimmy Uso and Reigns appears to be the next on his radar. With tensions building, McIntyre could potentially be lurking to attack the 39-year-old during his next appearance in WWE, which will be on January 6.
Besides, his rivalry with The Bloodline runs deep, as Roman Reigns and his group were the reason Drew McIntyre was unsuccessful in becoming the Undisputed Universal Champion at Clash at the Castle in 2022. Given the history, it makes it highly likely that the 39-year-old would be determined to ruin such a high-stakes moment by interfering in the Tribal Combat Match.
McIntyre could emerge from the shadows and attack Reigns during the latter's high-profile match against Solo Sikoa on RAW's debut on Netflix. Will it happen? It remains to be seen.
