Backstage Report: Drew McIntyre Upset Over WWE Royal Rumble Exit

ByMike ReichlinProfessional Wrestling Journalist

Something went wrong with Drew McIntyre’s elimination from the Men’s Royal Rumble, and it reportedly left him furious backstage.

According to PWInsider, McIntyre was “screaming and cursing” after being eliminated, upset that “someone had to get their moves in” at the expense of multiple storylines in the match.

The report further states that McIntyre “pretty loudly stormed out of the building” and left well before the Royal Rumble match concluded.

It remains to be seen whether this frustration will have any long-term impact on his WWE status or upcoming WrestleMania plans.
