The WWE King and Queen of the Ring tournament is set to kick off on Raw tonight and a number of first round matches were announced over the weekend. One of the big matches announced for tonight’s show was Finn Balor vs. Drew McIntyre, but it looks like Finn will be facing a different opponent tonight.
Raw General Manager Adam Pearce recently took to social media to announce that Drew McIntyre is not medically cleared to compete in the ring, so he has been pulled from the King of the Ring tournament. Pearce did not reveal who will be replacing Drew McIntyre in the tournament.
