Drew McIntyre Addresses WWE Absence

WWE

Drew McIntyre has addressed his recent absence from WWE television following his return on last week’s Raw show.

In the closing moments of last week’s episode of Raw, Drew McIntyre made his return to WWE television for the first time since Bad Blood, laying out Sami Zayn with a Claymore after his match with Seth Rollins.

McIntyre had not appeared on WWE TV since his Hell In A Cell defeat to CM Punk at Bad Blood on October 5, and he has now discussed his recent absence from TV.

Speaking to KWCH 12 Morning News, when asked about his absence, Drew sai:

“I was off the past two months. My last match was a Hell in a Cell match, a very brutal match. I got hit in the head at one point and needed sixteen staples to close a wound at the top of my head. I suffered a family loss as well so I went back to Scotland to deal with that and re-evaluate my priorities and realize that I have probably given a bit too much to my profession, to my colleagues, and not enough to my family.

“I kind of realized I’ve been giving a bit too much for the past 17 years and it’s time to start taking a little more. My mentality is I’m going to take what’s mine, I’m going to beat up the people who deserve to get beat up.”
