Drew McIntyre Isn’t Happy With His Creative Direction, Contract Offer From WWE Amidst Being Pulled From SmackDown

Drew McIntyre was pulled from SmackDown on Friday, and was also pulled from a meet and greet. While it was reported this was a medical issue, more details have now come to light.

Speaking on the situation, Wade Keller for PWTorch mentioned that drew is unhappy with his current situation with WWE and it points to creative and money offered on his contract renewal.

“We alluded to this that there’s been talk that he is unhappy with his current situation in WWE and I’m hearing it’s kind of a mix of creative and money and what kind of offer he’s getting for a renewal. It sounds like WWE is taking seriously the possibility that he is going to let his deal run out rather than agree to something that he believes is less than he deserves or less than he what he thinks he has coming.”

“There’s a chance that he was pulled from SmackDown, in part because he is just really physically beat up from that match and so just not having to travel and him getting a day off was sort of given to him either at his request or the medical team in WWE just said, ‘yea with what he’s been through, he should have some time off.’”

Obviously, McIntyre isn’t leaving WWE anytime soon as his contract is not to expire for a few more months yet. WWE are going to try their best to keep the former WWE champion, but as we seen with Jay White, WWE isn’t the be all end all at this stage of the game.
