Drew McIntyre was reported to have stormed out of the stadium after his botched elimination, while a WWE source confirmed to The Takedown that several people were upset with the spot gone wrong, without mentioning who.

After his Royal Rumble elimination, former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Drew McIntyre was visibly heated. McIntyre entered the men’s Royal Rumble match at No. 17 and lasted an impressive 26:55 minutes but failed to secure any eliminations.

Daily Mail's Lewis Browning also has an exclusive on the Drew McIntyre/Royal Rumble 2025 fallout, learning, as other outlets have, that the situation was genuine and not a work.
