Following his exit from the Royal Rumble, the previous WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Drew McIntyre, clearly showed signs of frustration. Entering at the 17th spot in the men’s Royal Rumble match, McIntyre fought valiantly for 26 minutes and 55 seconds, yet he couldn’t manage to eliminate any opponents. In the end, it was Damian Priest who knocked him out of the competition.
After my elimination, I couldn’t help but feel a surge of frustration backstage, as it seemed that there was someone during our match who was overly focused on executing every move, which unfortunately disrupted the narrative flow of the bout for me and possibly others involved.
As a gamer, I’d put it this way: “Man, I lost it when someone messed up the moment big time. My frustration boiled over, and before the game ended, I had to leave the arena in a fit of rage.
At WrestleMania 41, Damian Priest’s elimination of McIntyre was intended to pave the way for a possible match between them. Unfortunately, their anticipated confrontation was disrupted when they clashed with LA Knight and Logan Paul right in the center of the ring.
This incident diverted attention away from what should have been a significant moment in the game, causing McIntyre’s annoyance. It has been reported recently that his fury was not aimed at anyone else but LA Knight.
In the ring, Logan Paul stood, with LA Knight poised to strike, all under the watchful eye of the camera. Michael Cole and Wade Barrett were intently watching them as well. It seemed that Damian Priest and Drew McIntyre had hastily entered their designated area.

According to Fightful Select, Drew McIntyre indeed expressed his displeasure backstage and it’s reported that other WWE stars also felt the same way. It seems there was a collective disappointment among several wrestlers regarding one individual’s performance in the ring. Recent reports from PWInsider indicate that McIntyre was particularly upset with LA Knight’s behavior. The plan initially was for McIntyre to be eliminated by Priest, but this was disrupted when Logan Paul entered the scene.
In the clash between Damian Priest and Drew McIntyre (as reported by PWInsider), it seemed that Drew was displeased with an unintended action by LA Knight, which occurred when Logan Paul was involved. Specifically, during the match, Priest inadvertently collided with LA while attempting to eliminate Drew, potentially overshadowing Drew’s elimination.

Following rumors of Drew McIntyre’s backstage altercation, footage of his elimination from the match surfaced online. In the video, Knight inadvertently collides with Damian Priest as he knocks out McIntyre. This staged incident was intended to establish a WrestleMania 41 bout between Priest and McIntyre, but sources suggest that McIntyre is displeased with the proposed match-up.
His discontent extends beyond the Rumble blunder; he’s not enthused about the WrestleMania 41 rivalry with Priest. McIntyre feels he merits a more substantial plotline, given that he had an exceptionally prosperous year in his career last year.
