Drew McIntyre talks about the incident that occurred during the 2025 Royal Rumble, where he reportedly left the building, frustrated with LA Knight.
After being eliminated by Damian Priest in the 2025 men's Royal Rumble, Drew McIntyre was reportedly angry and cursing about someone "having to get their moves in." He was said to be upset with LA Knight.
During an interview with Gorilla Position, he addressed these reports and discussed how he prefers to handle such issues.
"I will tell you that I was not happy. I invented a few swear words, and then I left the building," he said. "I left the building because I'm a professional. The same with the CM Punk thing. I blow up big time every couple of years, but every time I get upset, it somehow makes the internet because it's such a scene. Generally, I don't, but my thing is, I'm going to leave the building."
He then went on to say that he's not like Seth Rollins, who was furious at CM Punk returning at WWE Survivor Series 2023 and was shouting at him from only a few feet away down the ramp where Punk was standing.
"I would walk down and punch somebody in the face, because that's who I am. But I'm also professional, so I'd rather take myself out of this situation because I know how bad my temper is, and sometimes, when you calm down, things are not as they seem. So I've learned to just walk away. That's the adult thing to do. Calm down, look at the things, and then, if you still feel the same, knock somebody out."

Drew McIntyre is currently taking some time off after facing Damian Priest inside a steel cage at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event. It's currently unknown when he will return to television.
