Drew McIntyre Reportedly Wanted to Work WWE’s Tour of South America Amid Ongoing Absence

Multi-time WWE World Champion Drew McIntyre has been away from WWE programming since April 2026. The Scottish Warrior was last seen in action at WrestleMania 42, where he battled Jacob Fatu in an Unsanctioned Match.

Since then, Drew has been busy filming roles in The Last Druid, The Highlander Reboot, and WWE x Reelshort microdrama Agent of Shadows, which also stars Jacob Fatu, Joe Hendry, Booker T, and more. Amid his prolonged absence from the company, a fan asked Sean Ross Sapp whether McIntyre is injured in the latest Fightful Q&A session.

Sapp said he hasn’t heard of any injury to Drew and that the latter is simply busy filming projects. Sapp added that he met McIntyre in September, and the former World Heavyweight Champion had expressed his interest in working WWE’s tour of South America.

Recently, Drew McIntyre spoke to Bully Ray on Busted Open Radio and revealed that despite his in-ring absence, he continued training in the ring while spending three months filming The Last Druid in Barcelona.
