Top WWE Star To Miss Time With Neck Problems

It can happen to anyone. With so many wrestlers on the current WWE roster, there is bound to be an injury or two every so often. Some of these can be instantaneous while others can take time to build up. Neither is good to see, but the recovery is what matters most. Now another WWE star is injured and we do not exactly know how long he will be out.

During this weekend’s WWE Day One event, Happy Corbin attacked Drew McIntyre, including wrapping a chair around McIntyre’s neck and crushing it. WWE has announced that McIntyre has suffered a cervical neck strain with contusions. There is no word on how long McIntyre will be out of action. According to PWInsider.com, the angle took place to write McIntyre off of television as he is suffering from legitimate neck issues. McIntyre is scheduled to undergo testing to find out what is wrong and how much time he will be missnig.

McIntyre can be a force. Check out what he has done in WWE:

Opinion: This is something that could turn into a problem in a hurry. The WWE main event scene is already a bit lacking and taking away one of the biggest stars SmackDown has to offer is not going to make things better. I’m not sure what WWE is going to be able to do if McIntyre is gone for any kind of long term, but that might be the situation WWE is in at the moment.

What do you think of McIntyre? Who could take his current place? Let us know in the comments below.
