Drew McIntyre’s post-Royal Rumble frustration has been a hot topic backstage, but while his anger was initially directed at LA Knight, it turns out The Megastar isn’t actually in trouble over the situation.
According to Bodyslam.net, LA Knight does not have any heat internally for the botched elimination spot involving McIntyre and Damian Priest during the Men’s Royal Rumble match. Despite reports that McIntyre stormed out of the arena after the mishap, WWE officials aren’t blaming Knight for what went down.
McIntyre’s fury was sparked by what was described as an “errant movement” by LA Knight that threw off the planned sequence for his and Priest’s elimination. However, WWE sources have downplayed the situation, with some believing McIntyre’s reaction was more about his overall frustration with his creative direction rather than just the botch itself.
While McIntyre isn’t happy about being slotted into a WrestleMania feud with Damian Priest, LA Knight appears to be in the clear. No punishment, no backstage drama—just business as usual.
With WrestleMania 41 on the horizon, all eyes are now on McIntyre to see how he moves forward. Will he accept WWE’s creative plans, or is his frustration going to push him to demand a bigger spotlight? Let us know what you think!
