Drew McIntyre WWE reunion update: The popular Scottish wrestler recently reconnected with former stablemates from his early WWE career while recovering from an injury that has kept him off television, providing fans with a reminder of his storied history with the company. The reunion took place away from WWE programming, highlighting the enduring bonds among McIntyre, Jinder Mahal, and Heath Slater as McIntyre continues his hiatus from in-ring competition.
3MB Faction Brothers Reconnect Outside WWE
During his time away from wrestling, Drew McIntyre posted a photo online featuring himself and two fellow alumni from the short-lived 3MB faction. In his first run with WWE, McIntyre, Heath Slater, and Jinder Mahal formed the 3MB stable, although the group saw limited success and all three eventually exited the company. Despite their split and separate paths afterward, they have each found their way back to WWE in subsequent years.
The three did not officially revive the 3MB team upon returning to WWE. However, they recently gathered in a different setting, attending Jinder Mahal’s wedding together. Both McIntyre and Slater joined Mahal for the celebration, where they donned traditional Indian clothing. The unique event served as an informal reunion for the trio, and McIntyre marked the moment on social media with the caption: “Band back together,- Drew captioned”.
Recovery Keeps McIntyre Sidelined from WWE Action
McIntyre has been absent from WWE since facing Damian Priest at Saturday Night’s Main Event the previous month. Reports indicate he is nursing an injury with no firm timetable set for his return, and his absence has been felt on television. According to WrestleVotes, updates regarding McIntyre’s comeback are sparse at the moment.
“Nothing on the pipeline recently, which tells me it’s not imminent. When he’s ready, if I was booking, I’d put him right on the top. I think the guy deserves it, and you could tell, when he’s not on TV, like as of late, the show is lacking a little bit. So, when he’s ready, you put him right back in that main event scene,” WrestleVotes said.
WrestleVotes also stressed that McIntyre should return to a prominent storyline, given his proven popularity and impact on WWE programming. The Scottish Warrior has become one of the company’s top performers over recent years, drawing acclaim for his athleticism and work ethic. His rivalry with CM Punk in 2024 stood out as one of the year’s marquee storylines, further cementing his place at the top of the roster.
SummerSlam on the Horizon as WWE Awaits McIntyre’s Comeback
With SummerSlam—WWE’s signature midsummer event—approaching and set as a two-night spectacle this year, WWE is expected to monitor McIntyre’s recovery closely. The company is hopeful that he will be medically cleared in time to participate in one of their biggest shows of the year and rejoin the main event scene alongside top stars like Damian Priest and CM Punk.
As McIntyre continues to recover, fans and insiders alike remain eager for additional updates on his WWE status. His recent reunion with former faction members during the wedding of Jinder Mahal has served as a reminder of his longstanding connections in the wrestling world. The possibility of McIntyre’s impact being felt again as WWE heads toward SummerSlam leaves many anticipating his eventual return to the squared circle.
