The ongoing road to WrestleMania 41 hasn’t been able to pique fan interest with the D-Day just under 10 weeks to spare. One of the linchpins of WWE programming over the past year or so, Drew McIntyre, doesn’t have a clear notion of what he’s going to do at The Show of Shows. Or at least, whatever was pitched to the Scot isn’t even remotely significant.
A report from Daily Mail claimed that Damian Priest, the man who eliminated Drew McIntyre from the Royal Rumble match, is currently slated to battle the latter at WrestleMania. However, that could change now. Per Dr. Chris Featherstone, WWE is cognizant of the online discourse around McIntyre and they’ve begun re-evaluating.
Drew’s Royal Rumble showing was like a fever dream. It all began with LA Knight inadvertently messing up McIntyre’s spot where he was tossed out by Priest. The Scottish Psychopath was allegedly furious at The Megastar for “trying to get his moves in,” and it sabotaged the magnitude of Drew’s elimination.
The former WWE Champion stormed out of the building, which was a snowball effect of both-the Knight debacle and Priest being his penciled-in Mania opponent. Nonetheless, as alluded to in the aforementioned report, the company is reconsidering their call for McIntyre which has already faced immense rejection from the WWE Universe.
In lieu of the recent Knight/McIntyre incident, the fans believe they could make for an intriguing undercard feud at WrestleMania. A glimpse of what these men bring to the table was on display during SmackDown last Friday. The Megastar referenced Drew’s heat with him in front of the Scot, and it broke the latter for a second. The Defiant One trolled The Chosen One for whining too much and dubbed him as “Drew McIncryre.”
Were Drew McIntyre and LA Knight legitimately throwing hands at each other on SmackDown?
Drew McIntyre took on LA Knight and Jimmy Uso in a triple threat Elimination Chamber qualifier on SmackDown last week. At one point, The Scottish Warrior casually smacked Knight in the back of his head. It landed right on the money, and LA didn’t take too kindly to it.
In fact, the erstwhile Eli Drake got back to Drew with a heavy right jab of his own.And then, Knight and McIntyre seemingly engaged in an ugly fistfight for a few seconds. Seeing the tensions escalate between the two, Jimmy intervened and broke them up.
A report from Fightful Select later confirmed that there were no issues following the match even though things did get rough physically when Drew and Knight were at it. Moreover, the Ayr-born wrestler was fine with The Megastar’s jibes earlier on.
