Triple H addresses Drew McIntyre‘s WWE status.
During the WWE Money in the Bank press conference, Alex McCarthy asked WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque if he had any update on Drew McIntyre’s status after his return in London on Saturday.
“It’s always a funny thing at the amount of speculation that happens around things,” Levesque said. “I can say this, I read stuff. We see stuff all the time that’s printed and put out there and people say, ‘sources say.’ I don’t know, 75% of it is completely off base. If Drew had an issue, it’s news to me. He just was out with an injury and getting some stuff fixed and while he was out, he had something else he wanted to get fixed. So we did it, and here he is.
“He’s an amazing performer. He is one of the highlight superstars in this time frame in this era. Thrilled to have him back and hopefully he’s here for the rest of his career. That’s how I feel about it, and he and I speak about it all the time. When all of this stuff was coming up, it was funny we would talk on the phone here and there and he’d be just laughing like, ‘Oh my god, have you read this now?’ You know, it just is what it is.”
Prior to his Money in the Bank return to confront GUNTHER, McIntyre last competed at WrestleMania 39 in April in a triple threat Intercontinental Championship match also involving Sheamus. While he was recovering from injuries, it was reported that McIntyre’s deal was up in 2024 and that he was considering exploring his options outside of WWE.
