Report on Drew McIntyre’s status with WWE after he was absent from the February 3rd 2025 edition of RAW

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.

On Monday, Dr. Chris Featherstone of Sportskeeda.com wrote that “McIntyre’s frustrations have cooled off, and things are ‘moving forward,’ WWE sources have informed me.” However, McIntyre was absent from the February 3rd 2025 edition of RAW.

There is now speculation that McIntyre could be moving to Smackdown for a feud with Damian Priest. PWInsider.com noted that after being asked about McIntyre’s status for this coming Friday’s show, they were told, “Anything is possible.” It was added that “It’s not a case where the bridge is completely burnt to the ground as the two sides have been in communication almost immediately” after the Rumble PLE.
