Last week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown was the first show for the blue brand following WrestleMania 39, and it was reported that Drew McIntyre was originally scheduled for the show, but he was pulled from the event.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Drew McIntyre was pulled from the show due to a health issue. It was also noted that Drew’s health issue was something he was dealing with prior to WrestleMania, but he was happy to work through the Show of Shows and put Gunther over on the Grandest Stage of Them All.
There’s currently no word on how long Drew McIntyre will be out for. Recently The Scottish Warrior has been a hot topic as it’s been reported that his contract with WWE is up at the end of the year and he has not agreed to a new deal just yet. The two sides are said to be far apart on money, so it will be interesting to see how things play out in the months to come.
Who do you want to see Drew McIntyre feud with when he makes his return to TV? Sound off in the comments below.
