Drew McIntyre’s frustration over his Royal Rumble elimination is making waves backstage, and now a new name is being thrown into the mix—LA Knight.
According to PWInsider Elite, sources say McIntyre’s anger stems from an “errant movement” by LA Knight that disrupted how his elimination alongside Damian Priest was supposed to go down. While WWE hasn’t directly confirmed Knight as the main culprit, he’s the only name being floated in connection with McIntyre’s issues.
The former WWE Champion’s temper flared the second he got backstage, where he was seen yelling and cursing about someone messing up the sequence. Things got so heated that McIntyre stormed out of the building before the Rumble match even ended.
Despite all the backstage drama, WWE has been in contact with McIntyre since the incident, and some sources within the company are playing down the situation, saying they understand his frustration but believe it’s something that can be “tweaked and rectified.”
However, McIntyre’s anger isn’t just about the Rumble botch—he’s reportedly not thrilled about his WrestleMania 41 plans. WWE is currently slotting him into a feud with Damian Priest, but McIntyre feels like he deserves a much bigger spot on the card after the year he had in 2024.
McIntyre isn’t the type to just sit back and take what he’s given, and this situation proves it. Whether WWE smooths things over or if this frustration leads to something bigger, one thing’s for sure—The Scottish Warrior isn’t going to stay quiet.
With WrestleMania 41 on the horizon, will McIntyre push his way into a bigger feud, or is this just the beginning of an even bigger problem? What do you think—should WWE give him a bigger spotlight, or is he overreacting? Sound off below!
