#1 Hope isn't true: Drew McIntyre's major illness during King of the Ring

Drew McIntyre suffered an illness recently

Sometimes, it's hard to tell when a superstar is undergoing major pain in the ring and is simply working through injuries and illnesses. This is exactly what happened to Drew McIntyre recently when he competed in the first round of the King of the Ring tournament, where he ultimately lost to Ricochet.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported that Drew McIntyre had suffered an illness right around the time the tournament began. He chose to work through it despite not feeling well. After a visit to Mexico for promotional purposes, he visited a doctor and had surgery 3 hours later.

It was reportedly not a "bone or muscle-related" surgery and as of now, the nature of it hasn't been disclosed. The Observer even mentioned that on the day of RAW where he faced Ricochet, he struggled to even get out of bed. While we hope this isn't true, these kind of situations usually are.

With that said, we do have to give props to Drew McIntyre for toughing it out through a rather difficult illness. We hope that he recovers and comes back stronger than ever.
