Drew McIntyre Says Some Stories About His Status With WWE During His Absence Had Truth To Them

Drew McIntyre says some stories about his status during his absence had smoke to them.

After WrestleMania 39, McIntyre took a hiatus from the company and was said to be banged up physically. There were many reports about his status with the promotion, and his impending contract expiring in the next year.

In an interview with TMZ, Drew addressed his time off.

“I’ve been off since WrestleMania. It’s the longest time I’ve been out of the ring, ever. I’ve only had two matches since I came back. I will not be at Raw next week and I’ll be going straight into that match,” 

“It was cool getting a break. There was a lot of rumors and headlines on the internet when I was out. Probably about 50 different things. It’s amazing, the stories out there when you’re not on TV. People talk. There might have been some smoke and fire with a few of them, but it was nice people were talking about me when I wasn’t there. I did have to get things fixed physically. Unlike injuries I’ve had in the past, there was no rehab involved, so I was able to enjoy time at home.”
