You never want to hear that. There are a lot of reasons that a wrestler could miss a show and most of them are not good, especially if they involve health issues. While wrestlers are often getting injured, you do not see that many situations of a wrestler missing time from the ring due to illness. That seems to be the case at the moment with one of WWE’s most prominent stars.

According to PWInsider.com, Drew McIntyre was pulled from a pair of live events over the weekend due to a bout of food poisoning. McIntyre is said to have forced his way through SmackDown and then been taken off the road to give him the weekend to recover. The situation involved McIntyre receiving an IV of fluids during SmackDown. Braun Strowman replaced McIntyre on the shows.

Opinion: That sounds terrible for McIntyre and hopefully he gets back in the ring sooner than later. McIntyre has a reputation for being one of the hardest working people in WWE and it is rare to see him take a day off, so I would hardly call this the norm for him. At least WWE had someone on hand to take his place and I would assume that most fans are going to understand that McIntyre had a medical issue that kept him off the events.

What do you think of McIntyre? What is next for him? Let us know in the comments below.
