Bill Apter comments on Drew McIntyre getting angry at WWE Royal Rumble 2025
Legendary wrestling journalist Bill Apter recently shared his thoughts on Drew McIntyre getting angry at WWE Royal Rumble this past Saturday night.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk show, Apter noted that it is difficult for everything to go as planned during a Royal Rumble match. The veteran added that it could have been a way to set up a storyline between the two stars.
"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." [19:47 onwards]
