We reported last night that Drew McIntyre may have suffered an injury during his match against Andrade “Cien” Almas. In an updated, Triple H mentioned his the post-Takeover WarGames interview on Facebook that McIntyre is believed to have suffered an injury to his biceps muscle and could require surgery. Triple H said that McIntyre will be undergoing an MRI ASAP.
WWE also released the following interview with McIntyre after the Takeover show:

Taz was the first to recognize the injury and predicted it was a torn bicep:
I dont normally do this on here but i just watch the #NXTTakeOver Championship match, looked to me like @DMcIntyreWWE might've torn his bicep on the finish as he held the rope. Could separation in base of his Bicep. Been there, it sucks for Drew. head up brother.
