Drew McIntyre Storms Out Of WWE Royal Rumble Amid Frustration

Drew McIntyre confirmed his abrupt exit from the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble match after being eliminated by Damian Priest. Reports indicated he was visibly frustrated, allegedly due to another competitor, believed to be LA Knight, disrupting a planned elimination sequence. On the Getting Over podcast, McIntyre admitted to being 'fuming' and emphasized the importance of not reacting emotionally in high-pressure situations, stating he preferred to leave rather than risk confrontation.
