Drew McIntyre loses to Jimmy Uso, chaos erupts post-match

In a surprising turn of events on the February 21, 2025 episode of WWE SmackDown, Jimmy Uso defeated Drew McIntyre for the first time in a singles match, scoring a victory via a roll-up pin. Despite having undergone a knee procedure less than an hour before the match, McIntyre competed but could not secure a win, leading to a post-match altercation where he attacked Uso in frustration. McIntyre had recently lost to both Jey and Jimmy Uso in quick succession, which he views as a significant blemish on his record. Following the match, he attempted to inflict further damage on Uso but was restrained by officials after delivering a Claymore kick. The loss adds momentum to Uso's rising singles career, as he aims for championship opportunities in the near future. The outcome of this match intensifies the competition leading into upcoming events, including the Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania 41.
