Drew McIntyre addresses report that he “stormed out” of the building at the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble PLE

It was previously reported that at the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble PLE, Drew McIntyre was allegedly “screaming and cursing” that “someone had to get their moves in” at the expense of a number of stories in the match. McIntyre was said to have “stormed out” of the building.

During an appearance on Getting Over, McIntyre addressed the report…

“I mean, not all the details are accurate but yeah, I was fuming (at WWE Royal Rumble) and I let everybody know what I thought and then I left. Because I’ve learned as an adult, nothing good happens when you’re highly emotional so just calm down, get the facts, then deal with it, because I don’t want to punch somebody in the head and be unprofessional and then find out facts later I didn’t know about. It was the grown-up thing to do.

For me, it’s just if I ever feel somebody did something disrespectful, went into business for themselves and the likes. That’s when I get frustrated and sometimes it’s not what it appears on the surface and you have to get all the facts together and you have to just calm down. It’s just fun that every time I have a moment — it doesn’t happen often (he laughed). (Damian) Priest finally jokes about it on the promo because that’s all he’s got aside, ‘Drew complains all the time. He’s always gonna leave the building’ and I was like, ‘Come on, mate, it’s a couple times in a few years.’ Consider I’m Scottish, I got an anger problem, that’s not too bad. Also, if I stayed, I might have punched some people out and been like, oh, actually, it wasn’t their fault. Wakey, wakey.” (quote courtesy of PostWrestling.com)
