1) Backstage Notes On Drew McIntyre’s Future After Day 1
According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Drew McIntyre has been written off television. This comes after he was attacked by backstage during the Day 1 PPV. Johnson says that the hope backstage is that Drew will only be out for a short period of time.
Here is what Johnson wrote:
The word backstage is that the angle was brought about by some nagging neck issues McIntyre has been dealing with of late, necessitating him needing to be checked out.
There is no word how long McIntyre could be out of action, but the hope among those we’ve spoken with is that it will end up being a short-term in-ring hiatus. Until McIntyre gets checked out, it’s “up in the air,” according to one source.
There were quite a few people over the course of the night who pointed out how insanely hard McIntyre has been going in recent weeks despite the neck issues, including him working multiple times a night over the recent live event tour that saw him doing tag matches against the Usos and then doing pretty stiff Street Fights against Sheamus. One person noted that McIntyre “went down swinging” to injury for the company.
My Take:
- Hopefully he is back before Wrestlemania 38.
