PWInsider: Drew McIntyre-WWE update

WWE sources have confirmed the company has been in contact with Drew McIntyre since McIntyre stormed out of The Royal Rumble event after his elimination.

As PWInsiderElite.com broke last night, When McIntyre returned to the back, he was "screaming and cursing” that “someone had to get their moves in” at the expense of a number of stories in the match.

Obviously, something went amiss with McIntyre’s planned elimination, which was to spark a storyline between he and Damian Priest for Wrestlemania season when LA Knight backed up into Jey Uso, Priest and McIntyre as they headed towards the ropes for the spot.

The feeling among those we’ve spoken with is that McIntyre may have been upset that Knight’s errant movement killed the drama and momentum of the spot, taking something that was meant to be a big moment and rendering it into something that sort of happened, in a clunky manner, “losing” the moment that was meant to spark the Priest-McIntyre story.

One WWE source downplayed the situation, saying the company can always tweak things in post-production, but acknowledged McIntyre’s anger after.
