There’s new information regarding Drew McIntyre’s surprise return last night.

PWInsider is reporting that McIntyre’s return was moved earlier than expected due to the rumored injuries Bronson Reed sustained during the Men’s WarGames match at Survivor Series: WarGames on Saturday night. McIntyre was previously advertised for a return at holiday week live events, including one at Madison Square Garden.

During the WarGames match, Reed attempted to do a Tsunami splash off the top of the cage onto a waiting Roman Reigns. Reed landed awkwardly on both of his feet. Reigns’ team, which included Zayn, Punk, Jey Uso, and Jimmy Uso, defeated Reed, Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tanga Loa.

“Delay, cancelations…im just ready to be home. Get this ankle checked out. See what im working with so I can come back ASAP and cause chaos as usual!”

McIntyre was last seen in a WWE ring during his Hell in a Cell match against CM Punk at Bad Blood in October, sustaining a serious head injury that required 16 staples after Punk hit him in the head with a tool box.
