McIntyre's first match back was a quick win over Oney Lorcan, where Lorcan reportedly got bloodied up during the match.
McIntyre — billed at 6-foot-5, 250 pounds — was originally in WWE from 2006 to 2014, winning the Intercontinental and tag team championships during his first sting with the company. After his release in 2014, McIntyre has success under his real name with Impact! Wrestling and ICW in the U.K.
