Drew McIntyre Explains Why He Was on a Break From WWE After Bad Blood

Drew McIntyre returned on last week’s episode of WWE RAW, after a hiatus from the company that began after Bad Blood in October. In an interview with KWCH-12 Morning News (via Fightful), McIntyre explained where he’s been in the past two months.

Drew McIntyre said: “I was off the past two months. My last match was a Hell in a Cell match, a very brutal match. I got hit in the head at one point and needed sixteen staples to close a wound at the top of my head. I suffered a family loss as well so I went back to Scotland to deal with that and re-evaluate my priorities and realize that I have probably given a bit too much to my profession, to my colleagues, and not enough to my family. I kind of realized I’ve been giving a bit too much for the past 17 years and it’s time to start taking a little more. My mentality is I’m going to take what’s mine, I’m going to beat up the people who deserve to get beat up.”
