Drew McIntyre Issues a Stern Warning Ahead of 1/22 WWE RAW

Tonight’s episode of WWE RAW featuring Drew McIntyre vs. Damian Priest in their first-ever singles match is set to provide a crucial build-up to the Royal Rumble event. The rivalry between McIntyre and Priest has been simmering for a while, with recent tensions flaring up due to McIntyre thwarting Priest’s Money In the Bank cash-in attempt.

In a statement captured by a WWE cameraman as McIntyre arrived at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, McIntyre emphasized the importance of this match, describing it as a “must-win.” He also issued a warning to Damian Priest, suggesting that Priest would not only have to deal with McIntyre but would also have to face Rhea Ripley after suffering a loss.

“Brother, looking for some words? OK… this is a must-win for Drew McIntyre, and I’m going to win. Priest you’re going to have to face your punishment but not from me… it’s going to be bad from me, but you’re going to have to face Mami when I beat you. You want some more words? Check out my Twitter,” he said.

McIntyre’s reference to “Mami” likely hints at Rhea Ripley, who has had her own issues with Damian Priest in recent storylines.

Regarding Drew McIntyre’s future and contract status, there have been reports that he is yet to sign a new contract and may soon become a free agent. However, as of now, he is still scheduled to participate in the Men’s Royal Rumble match this weekend.

As for the prediction for tonight’s match between Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest, it’s difficult to say. WWE often uses RAW to build up rivalries and storylines leading into pay-per-view events like the Royal Rumble. The outcome of this match could play a significant role in the ongoing feud between McIntyre and Priest, setting the stage for future developments.
