It has been a rough year for Drew McIntyre in the WWE. He has been finger-tips away from winning the World Heavyweight Championship on multiple occasions. However, CM Punk always managed to get in his way. Even when he secured the title at WrestleMania XL, the Best in the World made sure that he would not hold it for more than five minutes. Unfortunately, the 39-year-old also suffered a big blow in his personal life recently.

John Galloway, the real-life brother of Drew McIntyre, recently made a highly emotional post on his social media announcing that their aunt had passed away. She was a strong presence in both the brothers’ lives and cared for them after their mother passed away in 2012 at the age of 51. The Scottish Psychopath’s brother was grateful for her presence in their life and found comfort in the fact that the two sisters were reunited.

This news comes just a few days separated from the Bad Blood PLE on October 5th. McIntyre is scheduled for one of the most prominent matches on the card, which could even be the main event of the entire show. The Chosen One will go head-to-head against CM Punk inside Hell in a Cell.

This will be the third face-off in their series of matches. The two superstars took each other on at SummerSlam for the first time this year, with Seth Rollins acting as the special guest referee. Although the Scottish Wrestler came out on top, the Best in the World would soon get his revenge at Bash in Berlin in a strap match.

Netizens pointed out that it must be incredibly hard for the former WWE Champion to deal with such a loss just days before such a big match against CM Punk. Normally, he would probably be able to take a leave from work and stick by his family’s side. However, this may not be possible ahead of such a huge show.

Fans need not worry as McIntyre is a professional. There is no doubt that he will perform for the fans at Bad Blood despite this tragedy in his family. Hopefully after his match, the Raw superstar will be able to visit his home and be by his family during these tough times.
