Drew McIntyre was reportedly unhappy with something that happened during the Royal Rumble match, so much so that he was said to have stormed out of the building.
Mike Johnson of PWInsider reported that something “went wrong” with Drew McIntyre’s elimination from the Royal Rumble match. He was said to have been screaming and cursing when he got to the back, and he was saying that “someone had to get their moves in” at the expense of multiple stories in the match. The former WWE Champion loudly stormed out, per Johnson, and he had left before the end of the match.
Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer confirmed the story and provided an update. He noted that McIntyre was not the only one unhappy with the situation. (H/t Ian Carey of F4WOnline.com)
“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,” Meltzer said.
Meltzer also said that the name of the individual in question would likely come out soon. However, it has not been fully confirmed yet.
“It’s multiple people telling me that the Drew thing was… he wasn’t happy. It’s not an angle,” Meltzer said. “I heard that Drew was not the only one unhappy about the situation.”
