IMPACT Wrestling star recalls an emotional moment with Drew McIntyre

IMPACT Wrestling star Heath recently recalled his surprise appearance on WWE RAW last year, where he wrestled then WWE Champion Drew McIntyre.

Heath was among the several WWE stars who were shown the door from the promotion in April 2020 due to budget cuts. However, on the July 6th, 2020 episode of WWE RAW, he surprised fans by confronting and wrestling his former 3MB stablemate, Drew McIntyre.

Though the IMPACT Wrestling star lost, he and McIntyre mended their differences after the match when the former WWE Champion saved Heath from a beatdown by Dolph Ziggler. The segment concluded with the two embracing each other.

Taking to Twitter, Heath replied to a user who shared a bunch of pictures from his return.

"A year goes by so fast…" tweeted Heath Slater

While fans began to assume that Heath would return to WWE after this, it turned out to be merely a one-off appearance. Soon after his non-compete clause ended in July, Slater took his talents to IMPACT Wrestling, debuting at Slammiversary 2020.
