Earlier this week, Drew McIntyre missed SmackDown due to an unspecified health issue. However, according to Wade Keller on a Pro Wrestling Torch VIP update, McIntyre is also unhappy with his current creative direction and the money being offered on his next deal. McIntyre’s issues are said to be a mixture of these problems, with McIntyre and WWE said to be nowhere near terms on a new deal. In addition, McIntyre is said to have been beaten up from his WrestleMania 39 match against Sheamus and Gunther.

McIntyre has been one of the most important names in WWE, especially during the Coronavirus pandemic. WWE is not going to easily find a replacement for someone like McIntyre and at some point they need to go somewhat out of their way to make him happy.
