Drew McIntyre returned to his roots on Friday night at Insanity Championship Wrestling (ICW), getting the crowd pumped and pumped before his WWE Clash match for Castle’s World Heavyweight Championship. Known for his strong personality and passion, McIntyre’s return is a moment of nostalgia and anticipation for fans and fans alike.
In the spirit and intensity of the fight, McIntyre entered the ring with ICW World Champion Jake Jester. The last time these two squared off in an ICW ring was a brutal Wireless Barbed Wire match that made their reunion a spectacle. The tension was palpable as they sized each other up, a reminder of their history and the former McIntyre reign that marked a huge part of ICW’s history.
Restore history
Drew McIntyre’s journey with ICW is a story of resilience and triumph. His first stint in ICW began after his WWE debut, where he quickly rose to fame as the first World Champion. In his second reign, he regained the title from Jack Jester, ending Jester’s 385-day reign in November 2014.

When McIntyre took the microphone, the crowd erupted. ‘Long time no see, Mad Championship Wrestling,’ he wrote via X, summing up the night’s mood. The mutual respect between McIntyre and Jester is a testament to their mutual understanding and their never-ending impact on each other’s work.

Castle Clash Road
McIntyre’s return to ICW was more than a trip down memory lane; This was a strategic move before he faced Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship at the WWE Clash at the Castle. The match was a big one for McIntyre, who was looking to make a comeback after Priest cashed out of his Money in the Bank contract, shortly after defeating Seth Rollins at WrestleMania.
When CM Punk arrived in Scotland, he was seriously injured. McIntyre’s longtime rivalry with Punk played a big part in Priest’s awareness and warning to not participate in the upcoming match. The rivalry between McIntyre and Punk added a layer of intrigue and intensity to an already explosive event.
Unfinished business
Clash at the Castle 2024 isn’t just another title shot for McIntyre; this is a place for payment. The memories of his controversial loss to Roman Reigns at Clash of the Castle in 2022 linger. McIntyre is aiming to break the record in Glasgow after Solo Sikoa’s interference won him in Cardiff, Wells. His upcoming fight against Damian Priest is the culmination of McIntyre’s journey – his downfall, his rise and his quest for greatness. The Scottish champion is more determined as he prepares to face a tough opponent in front of his home fans who have become his biggest supporters.
Scotland’s legacy of mental illness
Drew McIntyre’s story is a story of passion and passion. From his early days in ICW to his rise to stardom in WWE, McIntyre has maintained a tough line and silenced his critics. His return to ICW was a challenge for him and the journey that made him the strongest he is today. The wrestling world held its breath as McIntyre prepared to head to the Citadel. Can he defeat Damian Priest and reclaim the World Heavyweight Championship? Will CM Punk be handsome again? One thing is for sure: Drew McIntyre’s story is far from over, and good things are yet to come.
