After Seth Rollins’ WrestleMania XL Injury Another Former WWE Champion Seriously Injured

A dark cloud of uncertainty and misery has plagued the WWE as its superstars have found themselves dealing with injury troubles. CM Punk suffered a tricep injury at Royal Rumble. More bad news followed during WrestleMania season as Seth Rollins was hindered by a knee injury. However, The Messiah would fight through the pain and injury and return to action at ‘Mania. The promotion’s spell of bad luck revolving around injuries didn’t stop post-WrestleMania as Rhea Ripley also suffered a similar fate which forced her to vacate her Women’s championship. Moreover, it seems the curse has followed and landed on another former WWE champion.

Not out of action yet, this currently injured superstar is fighting through the pain, and constantly proving his dedication to the craft.

WWE’s injury list adds another casualty with recent Drew McIntyre injury

Seth Rollins’ arch-rival, and the reason behind CM Punk’s injury, Drew McIntyre is currently nursing and recovering from an injury. Understandable from his attire, McIntyre is currently suffering from an elbow injury. Reported to have suffered the blow during WrestleMania XL, The Scottish Psychopath did not take any time off after that, and has been at shows fighting day in and day out. Per a PWInsider report, Drew McIntyre suffered a badly hyper-extended elbow during WrestleMania XL. The Night 2 of ‘Mania saw McIntyre face off against Seth Rollins and defeat him to secure his Heavyweight Championship.

However, his overconfidence would get the better of him after the match. After an unprovoked attack from CM Punk, a weakened Drew McIntyre would then be pinned by Damian Priest, who had cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase to claim his shot. Although the exact moment behind this injury remains unknown, the Scotsman continued his endeavors inside the ring. On RAW after ‘Mania, he would participate in a fatal-four-way, and be pinned by Jey Uso.

McIntyre is currently aboard the WWE UK Tour and has wrestled on live shows. Fighting through an injury, Drew McIntyre remains a favorite to win the Heavyweight Championship at Clash at the Castle in Glasgow. However, for that reality to manifest itself, he has to renew his contract with the Stamford-based promotion.

What is the current status of McIntyre’s WWE contract?

Recent reports and updates have suggested that Drew McIntyre has yet to put the pen on the contract. Rumors have that his contract is due to expire at the end of May, and there are still no updates on his extension. Several factors in the recent months have hinted toward McIntyre re-signing with WWE.

While Clash at the Castle is in June, McIntyre needs to extend his contract to fight and win back the gold. The WWE has also built a potential blockbuster feud involving Drew McIntyre-CM Punk and McIntyre-Rollins. Despite the provocations and minor altercations, these feuds are likely to gain traction once both Punk and Rollins return from their injury troubles.

We wish Drew McIntyre a speedy recovery. Are you guys excited to see Drew McIntyre extend his WWE contract? Let us know in the comments.
