Drew McIntyre expresses frustration backstage after Royal Rumble elimination

Drew McIntyre was upset after being eliminated from the Royal Rumble 2025 by Damian Priest. He lasted nearly 27 minutes but did not eliminate any opponents. His frustration reportedly stemmed from LA Knight's actions during the match. Backstage, McIntyre expressed anger towards Knight, feeling that Knight's movements disrupted the planned elimination sequence. This incident led to McIntyre storming out of the arena before the match ended. McIntyre's elimination was intended to set up a future match with Priest at WrestleMania 41. However, he is reportedly dissatisfied with this storyline, believing he deserves a more significant role after a successful previous year.
