Bill Apter is not happy with Drew McIntyre's recent actions in WWE

On a recent episode of Sportskeeda's SmackTalk, Bill Apter explained that McIntyre's actions were unjustified as botches are part and parcel of the business. The veteran journalist also mentioned that Drew McIntyre could be a very volatile personality who tends to get upset if things don't pan out the right way:

"You got so many guys in the ring. You can't expect everything to be perfect. You really can't. A lot of people are saying, 'Well, this is probably a storyline.' We don't know if it is or isn't. It could be to set up Drew and LA Knight. But the thing is that nothing is perfect in a match where you have so much that can go wrong. So, Drew being pis*ed? He is a very volatile personality when he gets upset."

One can only hope Drew McIntyre can resolve his differences with WWE soon and return in time for WrestleMania 41, which is just two months away now.
