Injury Update On Drew McIntyre and When He Will Return To Action

The injury Drew McIntyre suffered at TakeOver: WarGames is as serious as believed and the former NXT Champion will be out of action for months.

Sources in WWE tell Pro Wrestling Sheet that McIntyre’s test results showed he tore his bicep, which happened during mistimed move near the end of his match against Andrade “Cien” Almas. He’s hoping to return in time for WrestleMania 34 weekend in April.

McIntyre tweeted this morning saying, “Unfortunately I did suffer an injury during my title defense at TakeOver. I’ve dealt with setbacks before. The reality is, I always come back better…There’s a scary thought for whomever is NXT champion come 2018… #TickTock.”
