Drew McIntyre had been absent for over a month before he returned on the December 2 episode of WWE RAW. WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H noted that he was not hurt, and he got some time off.
Per Rick Ucchino of The Takedown on SI, Triple H commented on Drew McIntyre’s return while speaking at a media event about WWE RAW’s premiere on Netflix.
“He was dying to come back,” Triple H said. “He wasn’t hurt, he wasn’t injured. Let’s just give you a little breather here for a second.
“And whether that’s spending some time at home enjoying your family, whatever that is, or whether that’s, hey, I have this other project I wanna work on. I have this project that Netflix has come up with, I’m gonna work on that. Whatever. Us having that ability to morph and shift things around and keep things fresh, I think is a tremendous opportunity for us. So, I’d look for more of that too.”
