The last time we saw Drew McIntyre on WWE programming, he was losing a first-round King of the Ring match to Ricochet.

The Scottish Psychopath returned Monday night in dominating fashion, being named to Ric Flair’s Crown Jewel team and having a really good match with Ricochet that saw both men unload their arsenals at each other. McIntyre picked up the win with his trademark Claymore, then proceeded to lay out Ricochet afterward to make a point: he’s back.

McIntyre then mocked opposing Crown Jewel team captain Hulk Hogan, just feeding into the 5-on-5 match a bit. But the big thing here was Drew looking good in his first match in two months and being positions as Ric Flair’s mercenary.

Hey, if WWE wanted to parlay that past Crown Jewel, at least it would be something!
