WWE Locker Room Upset Over One Star “Trying to Get Himself Over” in Royal Rumble Match

The Royal Rumble Premium Live Event lived up to expectations in a big way as it was truly a night to remember. However, not everything went smoothly during the Men’s Royal Rumble match as it appears there is backstage frustration over one particular star’s actions during the match.

As reported earlier, after being eliminated, Drew McIntyre was seen “screaming and cursing” backstage before storming out of the building while the match was still ongoing. The report suggested McIntyre was frustrated that “someone had to get their moves in,” which came at the expense of the match’s overall storytelling.

While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that multiple people were frustrated with a specific wrestler in the match. The concern was that this particular wrestler was more focused on making himself look good rather than benefiting the match as a whole.

Meltzer didn’t name the wrestler, stating he had only heard one name mentioned but expected more details to emerge soon. He also added that McIntyre’s frustration was not part of a storyline, and there are currently no signs of WWE turning the situation into an angle.

“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, and he was doing things. I don’t wanna mention his name, it’ll probably come out tomorrow, because it’s only one person telling me the name, but it’s multiple people telling me that the Drew thing… he wasn’t happy. It’s not an angle. If they end up doing an angle with the person later – which there’s no hints of anything. But I heard that Drew was not the only one unhappy about the situation.”

The wrestler’s identity is still unknown, but fans are already speculating who it could be. If such backstage frustration leads to consequences, it could impact future storylines and lead to more issues in WWE. Therefore, It remains to be seen if the wrestler who put himself over instead of the match will be revealed soon.

What do you think about this backstage situation? Do you believe McIntyre’s reaction was justified, or is this being blown out of proportion? Share your thoughts in the comments!
