Drew McIntyre has addressed the reports that he stormed out of Saturday night’s WWE Survivor Series 2023 pay-per-view event in Chicago, IL.
It was previously reported here on eWn (see link above) that McIntyre was visibly angry backstage following his match with The Judgment Day facing off against Seth Rollins, Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, Sami Zayn, & Jey Uso in the men’s WarGames match.
McIntyre left the ringside area prior to CM Punk’s music hitting. He was then seen by multiple people slamming his locker room door, exiting just minutes later with only a hoodie and heading to the parking lot towards his rental car. None of this was being filmed.
At Sunday night’s WWE live event in Peoria, Illinois, McIntyre competed in a Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Championship against Seth Rollins and Shinsuke Nakamura. Following the match, McIntyre cut a brief promo to address the reports. He said,
“I didn’t win the World Title match recently, WarGames last night. My stupid team lost the match for me. You’ve heard things probably on the internet. Not in a great place, but there is one thing that can turn that frown upside down, that can change things for me, and it’s getting that World Title. I can’t think of anywhere better than for Big D to finally raise his first world title in front of live fans than right here in Peoria, Illinois. Cheap pop.”
He continued, “I have a game plan. I’m going to take Shin’s head and kick it like a field goal. I’ve learned a lot about American football recently. With Seth, I’m going to break his back, make him humble, kick his arse, and take that World Title. Then, we’re having an afterparty, it’s going to be huge.”
It is said that McIntyre’s anger involves “broader” things than just CM Punk’s return to WWE.
