Top WWE Star Confirms Injury Suffered At WrestleMania 40

Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Drew McIntyre has confirmed his injury suffered at WrestleMania 40.

At WrestleMania 40 Night Two, Drew McIntyre defeated Seth Rollins to win the World Heavyweight Championship. Post match, CM Punk attacked McIntyre after Drew mocked him following his win.

This led to Damian Priest cashing in his Money In The Bank contract to defeat McIntyre to win the World Heavyweight Championship.

Since then, McIntyre has only wrestled in one televised match. On the April 29 edition of WWE Raw, “The Scottish Warrior” confirmed that he suffered an injury at the hands of Punk at Mania.

During an interview on The Pat McAfee Show, Drew McIntyre provided more insight and an update on his injury. He said:

“You know what happened at Mania when [CM Punk] attacked me from behind and swept my legs out? He fractured my elbow. Broken bones in it.”

“You know what I did the next day? I wrestled in a four-way match, and I would have won if it wasn’t for CM Punk. I’ve been taping up every week.”

“I did a European tour where I wrestled Jey Uso every single night.”

“He’s sitting on his couch, collecting his big paycheck, thinking he can kiss corporate arse and keep cashing those checks while I’m putting in work. Why is the bad guy? Who is the delusional one? Who is the hypocrite?”

Drew McIntyre has remained on WWE television despite his injury. He and CM Punk had a verbal exchange on the April 29 WWE Raw.
