Drew McIntyre believes that he did not escape the Elimination Chamber unscathed.
Making good on his promise, McIntyre was victorious inside the steel structure to become the new number one contender to Seth Rollins’ World Heavyweight Championship. The former World Champion last eliminated Randy Orton thanks to some assistance from Logan Paul, who struck Orton with brass knuckles.
While McIntyre will be pleased with the result and looks to finally win a World Championship in front of fans at WrestleMania, it may have come at a price.
Speaking on The Bump, Drew McIntyre admitted that he is struggling to hear after the match and suspects that he has a burst eardrum:
“I can barely hear the words after getting hit in the ear so hard. It’s fine. I said I would do whatever it takes, not just for me but for everybody else. And every superplex, every dive off the cage, every power bomb in the back of my neck was worth it. I said I’d go through any obstacle. Push Cody to finish his story, that’s what the fans wanted. Push Seth to stop being selfish. Some people are like, it’s just so you can get Seth at WrestleMania.”
“Yeah, I just had to beat AJ Styles and I just had to put myself through hell while jet lagged, while this eardrum appears to be burst. Worth it. I did it for each and every one of you. We’re so close, so close. WrestleMania, we finish our own story and I finally get my moment.”
