WWE announcer and former Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett has been texting Drew McIntyre but did not get a response from him.
Drew recently competed at Crown Jewel in a singles match against Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship. However, the Scottish Warrior lost the encounter. He made a brief appearance on RAW the following week but left soon after without saying a word.
On a recent episode of After The Bell, Wade Barrett revealed that he had tried to get in touch with Drew after Crown Jewel but to no avail. He claimed that the Scottish Warrior didn't respond to his texts, and he wasn't sure what was wrong with the former WWE Champion. He assured fans that he would share updates on Drew as soon as he had a response.
"I texted Drew at the end of the show at Crown Jewel, 'Hey, I'm sorry man. If you wanna have a chat, get a beer sometime, let me know. We'll talk it through. Just wanna make sure you're doing okay.' I got no reply. I don't know where Drew's head is at right now. He turned up at WWE RAW this past week. They tried to interview him, he just turned around, got straight back up in his car and drove off. So, I don't know what he's thinking. I know he's hurting right now. I am concerned for him. If I can get in any form of contact with him, and he replies, I will let you know." [13:33 - 14:03]
