Drew McIntyre was reportedly unhappy following the 2025 men’s Royal Rumble match, with lingering questions surrounding the reasons behind his frustration.

McIntyre was visibly upset as he stormed through the Gorilla position, expressing his discontent, although the specifics were unclear.

After the event, WWE hosted a Royal Rumble after-party, which McIntyre did not attend. This isn’t the first time McIntyre has had issues backstage, as he was reportedly unhappy upon hearing about CM Punk’s return.

Pwinsider is reporting that McIntyre’s elimination was supposed to happen earlier than it did, but several factors disrupted the timing cues.

Sources suggest that a spot would’ve seen McIntyre get tossed out before having a staredown with Damian Priest. This spot was supposed to occur before Logan Paul made his entrance.

The plan was for McIntyre to toss out Jey Uso as a teased elimination spot, after which Priest would eliminate Drew to kick off their feud leading into WrestleMania 41.  

The report mentions that “several sequences involving LA Knight, including one with Roman Reigns, took far longer than planned or expected.”

A production source stated that those in the ring needed a moment to regain their timing. Paul’s entrance then further delayed the sequence.

After Paul entered the ring, he and Knight executed their planned spots, but Knight accidentally collided with McIntyre, Priest, and Uso, interrupting their momentum and resulting in the awkward-looking elimination.

This explains why McIntyre was ranting backstage about someone “having to get their moves in” at the expense of the stories being told in the Royal Rumble match.
