Drew McIntyre’s journey has been rocky lately, despite his WrestleMania 40 triumph lasting only five minutes and 46 seconds.
After clinching the World Heavyweight Championship, McIntyre’s taunts at CM Punk led to Damian Priest cashing in his Money in the Bank contract, costing him the title.
Since then, his luck hasn’t improved. On RAW, his attempts to reclaim the championship were thwarted by CM Punk once more, and recent reports suggest his situation has worsened.
According to PWInsider, McIntyre sustained a “badly hyperextended elbow” at WrestleMania 40, wrestling through the pain in the following weeks. This injury poses a significant hurdle for McIntyre, especially in his quest for redemption against CM Punk and regaining the World Heavyweight Championship.
Currently, there’s no update on McIntyre’s injury. He continues to give his all in the ring, touring with WWE in the UK. Hopefully, he avoids worsening his injury and maintains his performance level.
Contract Uncertainty Looms
Amidst McIntyre’s injury concerns, there’s another issue looming: his WWE contract.
Scheduled to expire in late May, talks for an extension are ongoing. WWE is optimistic about retaining him, with McIntyre already advertised for post-contract shows.
These developments mark intriguing times for WWE and McIntyre alike. As a top talent, WWE likely aims to keep him onboard. However, the outcome remains uncertain until McIntyre’s contract situation is resolved.
