WWE’s Drew McIntyre made a surprise appearance at ICW’s After Hours event in Scotland.

McIntyre was an unannounced surprise guest for an in-ring segment at the After Hours show on early Saturday in Scotland, returning to the promotion where he was the inaugural World Heavyweight Champion.

As ICW Champion Jack Jester stood in the ring, McIntyre’s WWE music and entrance video played. McIntyre came to the ring and teased fighting Jester, but then embraced him before cutting a short promo.

Video clips from McIntyre’s appearance have been posted on social media, including by McIntyre himself:

McIntyre was crowned the first-ever ICW World Champion in 2006, holding the title for 280 days in his first reign. After his WWE release, McIntyre returned to ICW for a run from 2014 to 2017 where he again captured the World title.

WWE’s Clash at the Castle event in Glasgow, Scotland streams live on Saturday at 2 p.m. Eastern time on Peacock/WWE Network, with a two-hour pre-show kicking things off at noon Eastern time. McIntyre will challenge Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship on the show.
