Drew McIntyre Cleared After WWE Backlash Injury Scare

At WWE Backlash 2025, Drew McIntyre suffered a scare when Damian Priest chokeslammed him from an elevated platform, causing McIntyre's head to hit the concrete. Both McIntyre and Priest, who lost a tooth in the match, were immediately evaluated but neither required hospitalization. Triple H later stated that McIntyre is 'a little banged up, but totally fine.' With both men taken out, Jacob Fatu retained the United States Championship after interference by Solo Sikoa and the WWE debut of Jeff Cobb. In the women's division, Lyra Valkyria captured the Women's Intercontinental Championship against Becky Lynch but may have suffered a broken nose during a post-match assault. WWE is monitoring McIntyre and Valkyria as they recover from their injuries.
