Cage matches are often brutal battles, and now Drew McIntyre provides a health update after his Elimination Chamber win.
Steel cages-including one so custom and wicked as the Elimination Chamber-are unforgiving.
Some spots look horrific but turn out OK. Others seem uneventful but can be quite painful.
No matter, the idea that you are never the same after being in a Chamber match can be quite accurate.
While he went into the Perth event as the favorite, and many expected him to win, his victory was with a cost.
Drew McIntyre Provides Health Update After Elimination Chamber Win
The former champion is now set to challenge Seth Rollins for his title in Philadelphia.
But, following the 2024 Elimination Chamber, McIntyre is not 100%
Per a report summarized by SEScoops, the Scottish Warrior may have busted an eardrum during his battle.
The news is less than ideal, but not as ominous as say, a knee injury.
Rollins has that market cornered, for what it’s worth.
According to Stanford Medical, depending on the severity of the ruptured ear drum (if that is what he has), recovery is usually 3 to 6 weeks.
WrestleMania is 6 weeks away.
Also, flying with that? Could be unpleasant, for sure. And while the #1 contender for Seth Rollins‘ gold will be driving across America to get to Philly…he has to fly back from Australia first.
A month and a half away from the biggest weekend in WWE’s year, it could be worse.
However, having your champion and his challenger both on the mend? It’s less than ideal.
And as we know, this was after WWE had to pivot away from the one-time likely title match of Rollins versus CM Punk.
It’s a reminder that there is a good reason promoters always told us that the card is subject to change.
