Drew McIntyre Could Remove Top Star from WrestleMania 41
Drew McIntyre might attack Damian Priest during a backstage segment as part of their SmackDown storyline, potentially forcing the former World Heavyweight Champion to miss WrestleMania 41.
Damian Priest might be absent from WrestleMania 41 following a potential attack by Drew McIntyre as part of their ongoing SmackDown rivalry.
WWE could book McIntyre to attack Priest backstage as a storyline development to address the mixed fan reception to their potential Las Vegas clash. This angle would effectively write Priest off television ahead of the premium live event.
Such a storyline would generate fan interest in seeing Priest seek revenge once he returns, while allowing McIntyre to pursue a different direction before WrestleMania 41.
McIntyre’s WrestleMania plans could involve a championship opportunity, potentially connected to a favor from The Rock. The Scottish star recently discussed his relationship with The Great One during an interview with Daily Mail UK.
He has always been there for advice and to include me in his live stream after the match, I wasn’t exactly expecting it, but I feel very honored that he’s willing to shine a kind of light on me. And he swore first, then I saw an opportunity. It’s so hard not to swear being Scottish. So I got a little laugh, and I got to ask a little favor, and he’s working on that for me.
McIntyre delivered standout performances for WWE throughout last year, positioning him for a featured match at WrestleMania 41.
