 On 25 September, WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon introduced McIntyre as a "future world champion" that he had personally signed, after which Truth made a return attack against McIntyre.The following week on "SmackDown", McIntyre continued to crash parties by making a speech at the "Decade of SmackDown" celebration until R-Truth put him through a table and the anniversary cake.This all led to McIntyre's first proper match since his return at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view (PPV), where McIntyre defeated R-Truth in under five minutes again using his DDT finisher.
