WWE superstar Drew McIntyre reportedly stormed out of last night’s Royal Rumble show. The Scottish Warrior, who was eliminated by Damian Priest in a bizarre moment during the men’s Rumble on Saturday’s premium live event, is said to have been left furious over the nature of his exit and apparent WrestleMania plans. During one of the most stacked bouts in WWE history, the former world champion was the 17th entrant in the match and lasted almost 27 minutes.

He was eliminated by the Archer of Infamy in what some fans saw a rushed moment, and it’s emerged he was livid backstage. According to the Mail, McIntyre was ‘fuming’ over the actions of another wrestler in the match, who has been accused of trying to put the focus on themselves during the planned elimination. It’s reported that wrestlers and his own family had to calm him down backstage, while a source allegedly described his planned WrestleMania feud with Priest as a ‘nothing match’.

According to PWInsider, McIntyre was ‘screaming and cursing’ after he was taken out of the match, before leaving the building before the Rumble ended. It’s said he complained someone ‘had to get their moves in’ at the expense of stories being told. The Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer has added to the reports, insisting ‘a lot of people’ were annoyed at the individual in question.

Up Next. No one has named the individual in question, with fans wondering what incident sparked the apparent anger from McIntyre and others in the match. Just before McIntyre was eliminated, controversial YouTuber turned professional wrestler Logan Paul was seen hitting some big moves and posing in the middle of the ring. He and rival LA Knight got into it, while Priest and McIntyre knocked into them slightly as they battled across the squared circle to the ropes.

The Scottish star was then thrown over and out, as he looked on angry in what was assumed to have been part of the story, while former Judgment Day star Priest stared him down. There have been no further reports of any discontent, with the bout ending with Jey Uso as the winner after he took out returning legend John Cena at the beginning of his retirement tour. As well as a stacked lineup of major stars like Roman Reigns, CM Punk, Seth Rollins and more, the bout featured some surprise entrants like social media star iShowSpeed, a returning AJ Styles, and TNA Wrestling’s Joe Hendry.

In the women’s Rumble, Charlotte Flair won the match to book her own ticket to the main event of WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas. She hadn’t wrestled in over year, while fellow returnee Alexa Bliss hadn’t appeared at all since the 2023 Royal Rumble event.
