Major Update on Drew McIntyre's Health Status Following WWE SmackDown
Drew McIntyre received medical attention following Damian Priest’s violent attack through a car windshield on SmackDown in London, creating confusion about his actual injury status.
The aftermath of Friday’s SmackDown in London has taken an interesting turn as new details emerge about Drew McIntyre’s medical situation. What should have been a triumphant night for the Scottish superstar quickly turned painful following a violent attack that left him requiring medical attention backstage.
McIntyre initially sparked conversation with his social media post stating, “That was real glass… It got in my eye,” a comment that seemingly referenced Jack Perry’s infamous “real glass” remark at AEW All In London 2023 which triggered the CM Punk confrontation. However, PWInsider has now revealed conflicting information after speaking with WWE sources who returned stateside following the London show. While McIntyre did indeed receive medical treatment to remove something from his eye after Damian Priest chokeslammed him through a car windshield, their sources clarified it wasn’t actually glass as initially suggested.
The situation gets more peculiar as reports indicate McIntyre was seen sporting an eye patch backstage after receiving treatment, and apparently told others that glass had been removed from his eye. This contradiction was further documented when WWE UK’s Twitter account shared footage of the former champion signing a Rangers FC themed WWE Championship while wearing the eye patch.
Despite the injury drama, McIntyre’s absence from WWE’s Vienna show on March 29 wasn’t related to his eye situation – he simply wasn’t booked for the event in the first place. The entire situation adds another layer to the intensifying rivalry between McIntyre and Priest, while fans continue speculating about the severity of the injury and whether it might impact his pursuit of a championship match against Cody Rhodes.
