Drew McIntyre defeats Sami Zayn to secure his first win at Saturday night's main event

On December 14, 2024, WWE fans had a number of reasons to watch the company's major event. Sami Zayn and Drew McIntyre had a great match as Saturday Night's Main Event returned to the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New Jersey. He intended to take aim at everybody who backs Roman Reigns and the original Bloodline.

The NBC special coverage began with this match. The Underdog From The Underground continued to fight back, even though Sami Zayn initially received the brunt of the abuse and was bumped over the announcer table prior to the commercial break. Drew McIntyre used some nasty chops to back Sami Zayn into the corner, but Zayn quickly retaliated with his ferocious attack. He proceeded to send McIntyre over the top rope with a clothesline. Zayn didn't stop there, sending McIntyre reeling as he dove outside with a slingshot moonsault block. 

Drew McIntyre used his signature chops and a powerful overhead belly-to-belly suplex to reclaim control once he was back inside the ring. But Zayn wasn't going to give up. Zayn landed a fast kick, then a diving ax handle and an elbow as McIntyre came at him. With a spinebuster and a sitout powerbomb, McIntyre nearly won the fight just as Zayn appeared to move.

Drew McIntyre back after long time

When Drew McIntyre unexpectedly delivered a Claymore Kick, it was the final straw. This followed many close calls with victory for Sami Zayn. Prior to Saturday Night's Main Event, Sami Zayn and Drew McIntyre were at odds with one another. The feud truly got off to a great start when McIntyre, making his television comeback, ambushed Zayn during the December 2 episode of WWE RAW.

At Saturday Night's Main Event, Zayn challenged McIntyre to a one-on-one fight because he was really unhappy about it. The Scottish Warrior immediately accepted the challenge. McIntyre's first bout since his Hell in a Cell matchup with CM Punk at Bad Blood 2024 was this one. It is now necessary for Sami Zayn to keep trying to defeat Drew McIntyre.
