Drew McIntyre has been carrying a cloud of discontent since WrestleMania XL, and his absence from WWE Backlash only intensified his frustration. The Scottish Warrior didn’t hold back in expressing his disapproval over how Damian Priest managed to retain the World Heavyweight Championship at the event. Taking to social media, McIntyre voiced his grievances, clearly agitated by the outcome.
The backdrop to McIntyre’s discontent is rooted in his brief stint as the World Heavyweight Champion. After securing a victory over Seth Rollins at WrestleMania XL, McIntyre’s celebration was cut short. Damian Priest, seizing the moment, cashed in his Money In The Bank briefcase. This opportunistic move came right after McIntyre had been left vulnerable by an attack from CM Punk, allowing Priest to claim the championship and begin his reign.
WWE Backlash saw Priest, also known as The Archer of Infamy, defend his title against Jey Uso. With the help of Judgment Day members Finn Balor and JD McDonagh, Priest emerged victorious, retaining his championship. This win, however, did not sit well with McIntyre, who was notably absent from the Pay-Per-View event.
Fueling his ire, McIntyre took to social media to lambaste Priest’s victory, calling it a series of “BS” events—from the champion to the contender, the tactics, the finish, and the theatrics. His tweet was a clear indication of his feelings toward the current state of affairs. Despite recent distractions, notably those involving CM Punk, which cost him the title at WrestleMania, McIntyre is determined to climb back to the top of WWE RAW.
McIntyre’s focus remains steadfast on regaining his position in the WWE hierarchy. His recent comments suggest a brewing storm, as he seems eager to confront the issues head-on. Fans are watching closely, anticipating his next move and whether he will be able to reclaim the spotlight he believes is rightfully his.
