McIntyre is working hurt.
At WWE Backlash, there was a Fatal 4-Way match for the United States Championship featuring Drew McIntyre, Damian Priest, L.A. Knight, and the champion Jacob Fatu.
Priest and McIntyre removed themselves from the ringside area to brawl with each other in the crowd. It came to a head when Priest delivered a 'South of Heaven Chokeslam' to McIntyre off a platform and through a table. McIntyre missed the table and his head hit the floor.
In a new interview with Jay Reddick of the Orlando Sentinel, McIntyre said he cannot turn his head all the way left yet. He added that he is working hurt.
“I can’t turn my head all the way left yet… Working hurt is just what happens if you’re an athlete, especially as the years go by. If you’re injured, it is something to take care of. Maybe back in the day, we would have taped it up and gone with it. In the past, I have worked with muscle tears and breaks, which isn’t the most sensible thing, but the way we operate now, you want to last for the long run.”
McIntyre and Priest are scheduled to meet in a Steel Cage match at Saturday Night's Main Event on May 24th.
