• Triple H Says Top WWE Star Is Banged Up After Backlash
Triple H has provided an update on Drew McIntyre following a brutal spot at WWE Backlash.
During the Fatal 4-Way match for the United States Championship, McIntyre took a South of Heaven Chokeslam from Damian Priest off the production area and through two tables. After the impact, he was seen holding the back of his head.
PWInsider reported that McIntyre was checked by medical staff after the match, as word going on is that McIntyre’s head missed the table and hit the floor.
Speaking at the post-show press conference, Triple H said:
“Luckily, everybody is healthy. I think Priest got a tooth that he’s hoping will stay inside of his head for a couple days here and get solid again. Other than that, Drew McIntyre, a little banged up but totally fine.”
