The WWE Universe last saw Drew McIntyre in action at WrestleMania 39. He suffered a loss in the triple threat match against the reigning Intercontinental Champion Gunther and Sheamus. Since then, ‘The Scottish Psychopath’ has been a no-show for the promotion. Reportedly, he is not happy with the creative aspect and monetary offer from the company. Plus, he also suffered an injury during his Mania’ match that sidelined him from future shows. But away from his professional life, he suffered a more significant loss in his personal life.

Recently, social media blew up with the news of one of his family members passing away unexpectedly.
