The Scottish Warrior entered at number 21, and his stay in the Royal Rumble match was uneventful as he didn't secure any elimination. Even the manner of McIntyre's own elimination, by Damian Priest, was anticlimactic and seemed to have come out of nowhere. He had a staredown with the former Judgment Day member after being taken out before heading to the back.
Now, a few details about things that went down backstage have emerged. As per PWInsider, Drew McIntyre was very unhappy over how the match panned out and was reportedly "screaming and cursing" backstage. Moreover, the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion left the building even before the show went off the air. The situation seems concerning as there's no clarity as to what went wrong.
