This past Sunday, Drew McIntyre competed against Gunther and Sheamus in a Triple Threat match for the Intercontinental Championship on night two of WrestleMania 39. The match exceeded everyone’s expectations. However, McIntyre was unable to win the title.
Last week, PWInsider reported that Drew McIntyre’s WWE contract is set to expire later this year. They also noted that the two sides didn’t agree to sign a new deal yet.
The Scottish Warrior was supposed to appear on last night’s SmackDown and also at a meet-and-greet event today. However, McIntyre was pulled from both events due to a health issue.
Wade Keller of PW Torch reported that Drew McIntyre is unhappy with the creative direction of his character.
“We alluded to this that there’s been talk that he is unhappy with his current situation in WWE and I’m hearing it’s kind of a mix of creative and money and what kind of offer he’s getting for a renewal. It sounds like WWE is taking seriously the possibility that he is going to let his deal run out rather than agree to something that he believes is less than he deserves or less than he what he thinks he has coming.”
