Drew McIntyre’s WWE Royal Rumble elimination said to have lost momentum because LA Knight “got in the way”

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.

F4WOnline.com confirmed that the McIntyre story is “legit” and noted the following…

“We were told that he was hot, although I believe everyone cooled down. But he was clearly mad when he came through the curtain after being eliminated. We were told others were as well but weren’t as obvious about it. McIntyre and Damian Priest were to start an angle and they felt the momentum was lost when LA Knight got in the way as they were doing the Priest throwing out of McIntyre. The top guys want things to go smoothly and have their story come off as planned, and that mentality is why they’re top guys.”

At this time, it’s unclear if McIntyre will switch from RAW on Smackdown to continue his feud with Priest.
