Drew McIntyre addressed his injury status after originally being scheduled to team with Sheamus to challenge The Usos for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship on the November 9 edition of SmackDown.
McIntyre had a ruptured eardrum, which was revealed after he announced that he had not been medically cleared to compete. McIntyre, on the other hand, was expected to return for the WWE’s post-Christmas tour.
McIntyre stated in a pre-recorded video message on WWE The Bump that it would not be gone for long.
“I wish I could be there physically, sadly I can’t right now. I appreciate everybody checking in. You know if Drew McIntyre’s not at work, there’s a reason, but I can tell you all I’ll be back very very soon. There’s a certain season on the horizon, WrestleMania season, and I’m not going to miss that.”
