WWE Star Confirms He’s Working Hurt

WWE

A top WWE star has addressed working hurt ahead of his match on the May 24 edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event.

The upcoming special will see Damian Priest face off against Drew McIntyre in singles action, in a rematch from WrestleMania 41.

The duo last wrestled in the US Championship fourway bout at Backlash which saw Priest deliver an elevated South of Heaven chokeslam to Drew McIntyre through tables in the crowd.

Drew McIntyre has now provided an update on his status, telling the Orlando Sentinel that he’s working hurt, noting that he’s unable to turn his head all the way to the left currently.

The former WWE Champion said:

“I can’t turn my head all the way left yet…

“Working hurt is just what happens if you’re an athlete, especially as the years go by. If you’re injured, it is something to take care of.

“Maybe back in the day, we would have taped it up and gone with it. In the past, I have worked with muscle tears and breaks, which isn’t the most sensible thing, but the way we operate now, you want to last for the long run.”

This comes after reports that Damian Priest has been “very banged up” during his feud with Drew McIntyre, with there reportedly being a lot of talk between WWE talents “marveling at the toughness” shown by Damian Priest in recent months.
