There's some unfortunate news for WWE fans tonight as it has been announced that Drew McIntyre will not be able to compete on Monday Night Raw. The popular superstar had been scheduled to take part in the King of the Ring tournament, but less than two and a half hours before the show, it was revealed that he has been pulled from the event due to an injury.
The Raw General Manager, Adam Pearce, shared a video on X to confirm the update. "A bit of unfortunate breaking news as Drew McIntyre is not medically cleared to compete tonight," he said. "That's right, Drew McIntyre will not be able to compete tonight here in Hartford. As a result, he will be pulled from the King of the Ring tournament. We will provide more updates as they become available. Unfortunately, that's official."
It's not yet known who will replace McIntyre in his opening round match against Finn Balor. However, three other matches have already been announced for the tournament, including a highly anticipated rematch between McIntyre's former rivals GUNTHER and Sheamus. Additionally, fans can look forward to seeing legends Kofi Kingston and Rey Mysterio facing off, as well as a first-time bout between Ricochet and Ilja Dragunov.
It's a disappointing turn of events for McIntyre, who has been involved in a bitter rivalry with CM Punk. Both men have been dealing with injuries, but it's uncertain if Punk will still make an appearance on tonight's show. Meanwhile, the Queen of the Ring tournament will also kick off, with Zelina Vega defending her title against Shayna Baszler. Other opening round matches include Zoey Stark versus Ivy Nile, Lyra Valkyria against Asuka, and Iyo Sky taking on Natalya.
For those who want to catch all the action, WWE Raw airs Monday nights at 1am on TNT Sports 1. And for those who are eagerly anticipating the King and Queen of the Ring finals, mark your calendars for May 25, when the event will be available to stream on the WWE Network.
