Drew McIntyre Reportedly Very Sick Before Recent WWE RAW Match, Update On His Status

As noted, Drew McIntyre is currently out of action after undergoing an operation to repair a lingering injury that came up after his recent promotional tour of Mexico. The idea was to get the surgery out of the way, so McIntyre will be ready for the fall TV push and the build to WrestleMania 36 season.

In an update, The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that the minor surgery was not bone or muscle related.

Besides the surgery, McIntyre was reportedly sick for a few weeks but just kept to himself and continued to work. His last match came on the August 26 RAW, a King of the Ring loss to Ricochet, and he was so sick that day that he could barely get out of bed. McIntyre just figured he had the flu and was run down, so he kept to himself and worked through it.

WWE officials told McIntyre to see a doctor when he returned from Mexico last week, and that’s when the doctor diagnosed him and ordered him into surgery just three hours later.

There’s no word yet on what WWE has planned for McIntyre, but he’s been rumored for a big singles push for the past year, and new speculation is that the push could really get going in time for the WrestleMania 36 build.

Drew is said to be ready to return to the ring now, but he’s waiting on the call from WWE and approval from their doctors. It’s believed that he could be cleared by WWE doctors as soon as next week’s post-Clash of Champions TV shows.

Drew McIntyre Out Of Action With Injury

Drew McIntyre is currently dealing with an injury and is out of action, according to PWInsider.

McIntyre was not backstage at Madison Square Garden in New York City for last night’s RAW and was not backstage for last week’s show.

The report noted that word going around the locker room is that McIntyre underwent a minor surgery to help fix a lingering injury that came up after the recent tour of Mexico. WWE has not held live events in Mexico since December, but McIntyre was there in late August for a promotional tour to promote the WWE Supershow scheduled for late November.

The idea was to get the surgery out of the way, that way McIntyre will be ready and healthy going into WWE TV in October and the build towards WrestleMania 36 season in 2020. McIntyre will return to action as soon as WWE doctors clear him, which could be as soon as next week’s set of TV shows. McIntyre is said to be ready to return, but he’s just waiting on the call from WWE and the approval from the doctors.

McIntyre had been rumored for a match against Cedric Alexander at WWE Clash of Champions at one point.

Drew McIntyre Shown Sitting Ringside During NXT TakeOver, Confirms New WWE Deal (VIDEO)

It’s been a long time since “The Chosen One” has been seen in WWE, but that changed at NXT TakeOver: Orlando when Drew McIntyre was shown on camera sitting ringside.

McIntyre — who had been using the name Drew Galloway in his time since leaving WWE — was seen smirking in the crowd as the announcers pointed out that he was in attendance.

Drew had been scheduled to wrestle tonight at the Evolve vs. Progress event, but he was attacked by Keith Lee at the top of the show during a promo and announcers said he’d be unable to wrestle later.

McIntyre was the first to leave Impact Wrestling before the large exodus of talent began — and it was partly because they lagged on offering him a new deal.

McIntyre told ESPN, “If that’s not clear enough for everybody, Drew McIntyre has signed with NXT.”
