Drew McIntyre allegedly “stormed out” of the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble event
As seen during the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble PLE, Drew McIntyre was eliminated from the match by Damian Priest. According to PWInsider.com, there was a situation with McIntyre.
It was noted that something went wrong with the elimination and once McIntyre got to the backstage area, he was allegedly “screaming and cursing” that “someone had to get their moves in” at the expense of a number of stories in the match. It was claimed that McIntyre “pretty loudly stormed out of the building and was gone well before the Rumble match ended.”
At this time, it’s unknown exactly what led to McIntyre’s frustration or who he was directing his anger towards. During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com stated the following…
“There’s a guy that a lot of people were pissed at in that match, with the idea that he was trying to get himself over and not the match over, and he was doing things. I don’t wanna mention his name, it’ll probably come out, because it’s only one person telling me the name, but it’s multiple people telling me that the Drew thing… he wasn’t happy. It’s not an angle. If they end up doing an angle with the person later – which there’s no hints of anything. But I heard that Drew was not the only one unhappy about the situation.” (quote courtesy of RingsideNews.com)
