Major WWE Superstar denies Drew McIntyre ANOTHER title

Drew McIntyre came close to winning another title in WWE. However, he was stopped by a major star.

McIntyre and Damian Priest clashed at WrestleMania 41 in a Sin City Street Fight, which was won by The Scottish Warrior. Following this win, McIntyre made it clear that he wanted to challenge Jacob Fatu for the United States Championship. However, Priest was still not done with McIntyre and also found himself in contention for the title at WWE Backlash.

Tonight at Backlash, LA Knight, McIntyre, Damian Priest, and Jacob Fatu stepped into the ring for a physical contest. During the bout, McIntyre hit his Claymore on LA Knight and was about to get the pinfall when Priest pulled the referee out of the ring, preventing The Scottish Warrior from winning the United States Championship.

Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest have been feuding since WWE Elimination Chamber 2025. Drew was upset with Priest for eliminating him from the Royal Rumble match, and to make matters worse, the former Judgment Day member eliminated him in the Elimination Chamber match. As a result, The Scottish Psychopath attacked Priest the following week, kickstarting the feud.

It will be interesting to see who will walk out of Backlash with the United States Championship.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
