At the time of writing, Paul Levesque always praises the virtues of WWE Royal Rumble Weekend to journalists in Indianapolis, but not everyone left the live premium event in good humor. Shortly after the end of the show, Pwinsider reported in their elite section that Drew McIntyre came out of Lucas Oil Stadium after being eliminated from the Royal Rumble’s Royal match.
McIntyre entered the male rumble in the main event as a 17th participant, fighting against the mortal rivals CM Punk, Roman Reigns, Jey Usto and Sami Zayn before being eliminated by Damian Priest once the 30 participants were more late. According to Pwi, something went wrong with elimination, and when McIntyre returned to the rear, he was heard “shouting and curse” that “someone had to take his steps” to the detriment of a certain number stories in the match.
McIntyre would have burst out of the building and would have disappeared long before the end of the match itself. The report echoes similar stories from McIntyre to attack the Survivor 2023 series after the surprise return of punk; It is not yet clear either who “someone” is that he was referring. The Rumble match was finally won by USO, who eliminated John Cena the last time in a last last also involving Logan Paul; Punk eliminated Reigns and Rollins before being eliminated by Paul. Rollins and Reigns fought at the edge of the ring before being dragged by civil servants.
