WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre’s road to WrestleMania XL was filled with unexpected hurdles, as confirmed by special makeup effects artist Jason Baker.
McIntyre’s clash with Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on WrestleMania XL Night Two was a spectacle to behold, culminating in The Scottish Warrior’s triumphant victory over The Visionary.
However, McIntyre’s elation was short-lived when Damian Priest capitalized on CM Punk’s assault by cashing in his Money in the Bank contract.
Prior to the event, McIntyre took to Twitter to reveal the unfortunate loss of his WrestleMania gear courtesy of UPS.
While his tweet seemingly incorporated a jab at CM Punk, suggesting it might be a part of his wrestling persona, Baker shed light on the authenticity of the situation.
In a tweet, Baker disclosed that McIntyre’s gear indeed went missing and credited his wife, Mandy June, for tirelessly crafting replacement attire throughout the night.
His gear was legit lost. Not a work. You suck @UPS. My phenomenal wife @SandyMimpson left #WrestleMania40 night one during the show, stayed up until 6am, and had replacement gear ready for @DMcIntyreWWE before the start of Night 2. She’s an absolute legend! #proudhusband https://t.co/8eBFTYbkAB pic.twitter.com/Su64uQTNHP

He emphasized the genuine nature of the setback, praising his wife’s dedication in ensuring McIntyre’s appearance for Night Two of WrestleMania XL.
In a separate discussion on the Gigantic Pop podcast, wrestling personality Matt Morgan expressed his belief in McIntyre’s potential as a top heel in WWE.
He envisioned McIntyre as a formidable challenger for Cody Rhodes and the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, highlighting the need for a compelling antagonist to complement Rhodes’ popularity among fans.
While speculation swirls around potential future matchups for McIntyre, including a highly anticipated showdown with CM Punk once the latter returns to in-ring competition, the focus remains on McIntyre’s resilience in overcoming obstacles both inside and outside the ring.
Drew McIntyre’s journey exemplifies the unpredictability of the wrestling world, where setbacks fuel determination and dedication ultimately prevails.
