The2025 WWE Royal RumblePremium Live Event was headlined by the Mens Royal Rumble match and Drew McIntyre was obviously a big player in the bout. While he wasnt able to win it, WWE has plans for him heading into WrestleMania 41 but it appears McIntyre isnt necessarily a fan of his current direction reading into the Show of Shows.
According to Daily Mail UK, Drew McIntyre is set for a feud with Damian Priest leading into WrestleMania, but a source has described the match as a nothing match. It was further noted that The Scottish Warrior believes he deserves a more prominent feud, especially after having the most successful year of his career in 2024.
This comes after previous reports stated that Drew McIntyre was visibly upset following his elimination from the Mens Royal Rumble match. Backstage, he was reportedly screaming and cursing about how things played out.
It was further added that something went wrong with his elimination, and McIntyre was frustrated that someone had to get their moves in at the cost of multiple planned storylines. His anger was so intense that sources claim he stormed out of the building before the match even ended.
Jey Uso ultimately won the Royal Rumble match but fans felt Drew McIntyre was more deserving of the big win and judging by his backstage reaction after his elimination, fans sympathize with McIntyre. Regardless, well have to wait and see whether Damian Priest will end up being McIntyres feud for WrestleMania 41, as plans could always change at the drop of a hat.
