Drew McIntyre came up short at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, and fans shouldn’t expect him back on programming anytime soon.
According to a report from Pwinsider, McIntyre will be off WWE TV for the foreseeable future following his brutal loss to Damian Priest in a Steel Cage match.
The match concluded with Priest delivering a vicious Con-Chair-To before walking out the cage door, leaving McIntyre motionless in the ring.
Sources indicate that McIntyre has been “working hurt for some time” and that his appearance on Saturday “finished his current WWE dates.”
Word backstage suggests that he’ll be taking an extended break and won’t be seen on TV for the time being.
McIntyre was also left worse for wear at WWE Backlash: St. Louis, prompting Triple H to share an update on him after the event.
