Drew McIntyre remains one of The Bloodline’s fiercest adversaries, whether it’s the original faction or its new iteration. The Scottish Warrior has made his disdain for Roman Reigns and his family clear. Recently, when McIntyre weighed in on the controversy between Naomi and Jade Cargill, he stood by the former Women’s Champion. However, he didn’t miss the chance to take another shot at the family.
Taking to X, Naomi shared a picture with Drew McIntyre, praising their shared mindset with the caption, like minds think alike. Impressed by the gesture, the former WWE Champion lauded The Glow, calling her work on SmackDown incredible. However, he took a dig at The Bloodline, remarking that Naomi marrying Jimmy Uso, a key member of the faction, was a shame.
You’re killing it. It’s just a shame you married into that family.

McIntyre seems to appreciate how Naomi is handling her feud with Jade Cargill. The two stars share a lot of similarities in their characters, making them naturally like-minded. Moreover, The Glow has burned the bridges with both Bianca Belair and Cargill with her actions. Following an attack by The Storm, it is likely that the former friends will square off at WrestleMania.
However, it will be interesting to see how this new chapter in The Glow’s career impacts her relationship with Jimmy Uso and the rest of The Bloodline. Meanwhile, Drew McIntyre is seeking revenge against Damian Priest on SmackDown. Fans will have to wait and see how these two stories unfold on the ever-changing landscape of Friday Nights.
Drew McIntyre thinks he brought back the prestige of Hell in a Cell
At Bad Blood 2024, Drew McIntyre battled CM Punk in one of the greatest Hell in a Cell match of all time. It wasn’t just a match—it was a war, fueled by a deeply personal feud between the two rivals. Though McIntyre fell short against The Best in the World, his performance instantly elevated him to legendary status.

In a recent interview with Inside The Ropes, The Scottish Warrior shared his thoughts on his rivalry with Punk, stating that their feud had the perfect culmination inside Hell in a Cell. He emphasized that they weren’t forced into the stipulation but needed it to settle their intense animosity. This organic build-up created the perfect anticipation for their brutal showdown.
The fans would think it was one of the craziest feuds and matches of all time, and restore the prestige and aura around the Hell in a Cell match so it doesn’t feel like just another match again.

McIntyre stated that he and Punk restored the prestige of Hell in a Cell, which was lost in WWE over the years. Despite their animosity, the 39-year-old also praised The Second City Saint, acknowledging him as great in his own right. He said their genuine hatred fueled their intense rivalry and helped them craft a historic feud last year.
Drew McIntyre to face Damian Priest at WrestleMania?
After a stellar year, fans expected Drew McIntyre, one of WWE’s top stars, to be involved in a major WrestleMania feud. In January, it seemed The Scottish Warrior was on a collision course with Roman Reigns. However, after the Royal Rumble, plans shifted significantly, and he may be heading toward a showdown with Damian Priest instead.

Since the Royal Rumble, McIntyre and Priest have clashed in several hard-hitting encounters. The Punisher was the one who eliminated McIntyre from the Rumble match, and if that wasn’t enough, he also found a way to take him out of the Elimination Chamber. These repeated setbacks have only intensified the animosity between them, setting the stage for an inevitable showdown.
While fans initially criticized this direction, given the current landscape, there seems to be no better spot for the 39-year-old at WrestleMania. McIntyre and Priest have crossed paths multiple times in WWE, with their most notable clash taking place at Clash at the Castle in Scotland. As the road to WrestleMania continues, it will be interesting to see how their rivalry unfolds on SmackDown.
