Drew McIntyre will challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship at an event where the Scottish Warrior will certainly have the crowd on his side.

At WrestleMania 40, McIntyre's brief World Heavyweight Championship reign was ended by Damian Priest who cashed in his Money in the Bank contract. Priest's successful cash-in came after CM Punk attacked McIntyre who had won the title from Seth Rollins moments earlier.

Since then, McIntyre has been focused on getting another shot at the title. Priest, in an effort to prove himself as a fighting champion, told McIntyre on a recent episode of Monday Night Raw that he would receive a title match in the future.

During the WWE King And Queen of the Ring Premium Live Event, WWE's Chief Content Officer Paul 'Triple H' Levesque shared that McIntyre has been cleared to wrestle after suffering an elbow injury at WrestleMania. The Game also shared that McIntyre will receive his promised title match at WWE Clash At The Castle: Scotland.

The Scottish Warrior will certainly have the home-field advantage when he faces Priest in Glasgow. McIntyre had previously said he hoped the title match would be at the OVO Hydro. This will be McIntyre's second time competing for a WWE World Championship at a Clash At The Castle show. At the inaugural event in 2022, McIntyre unsuccessfully challenged then-WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns in Cardiff's Principality Stadium.

While McIntyre would love nothing more than to dethrone Priest in Glasgow's OVO Hydro, the Judgment Day member isn't the only star on Drew's radar. Since CM Punk's return to WWE, McIntyre has made clear his issues with the former AEW World Champion who essentially cost McIntyre the title at WrestleMania. Punk has teased showing up in Glasgow (perhaps disguised as a haggis) to confront McIntyre while the Scottish Warrior has made clear what awaits Punk if he tries to interfere at Clash At The Castle: Scotland.
