Drew McIntyre seemingly wrapped up his feud with CM Punk at Bad Blood back in October then the former WWE Champion disappeared from WWE programming. There was some speculation that Drew may have been taking time off due to injury, but that doesn’t appear to be the case.
Triple H talked a little bit about Drew McIntyre’s absence during the recent media event at WWE HQ, and The Game noted that McIntyre was simply taking a breather from WWE according to Sports Illustrated. He also indicated that we could see more talent given time off in the future in order to keep things fresh.
“He was dying to come back. He wasn’t hurt, he wasn’t injured. Let’s just give you a little breather here for a second. And whether that’s spending some time at home enjoying your family, whatever that is, or whether that’s, hey, I have this other project I wanna work on. I have this project that Netflix has come up with, I’m gonna work on that. Whatever.
Us having that ability to morph and shift things around and keep things fresh, I think is a tremendous opportunity for us. So, I’d look for more of that too.”
One way or another Drew McIntyre is back and it looks like he is wasting no time when it comes to making his presence felt as he took Sami Zayn out with a Claymore as Raw went off the air this week.
