The news came just hours before WWE RAW, whereby McIntyre was scheduled to face off against Randy Orton. Last week’s RAW, a special Legends Night episode of the show, saw McIntyre successfully defend the WWE Championship against Keith Lee, before being challenged to a match at the Royal Rumble by WWE Hall of Famer and two-time WWE Universal Champion Goldberg.

The WWE Champion would confirm on RAW that he has no symptoms of COVID-19 following his positive test result, and encouraged viewers to take the virus seriously and keep themselves safe.

“I am one of the fortunate ones with no symptoms, but I assure you, COVID should not be taken lightly.”

McIntyre enjoyed an incredible 2020, winning the Royal Rumble in January before taking on Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 36. Despite the show taking place in an empty WWE Performance Center with no audience in attendance, McIntyre would make history by becoming the first-ever Scottish and British-born WWE Champion. McIntyre has since become a two-time WWE Champion, and was named atop Inside The Ropes’ inaugural ITR 50, coming in at number one and also scooping the award for Male Wrestler of the Year in the End Of Year Awards.

Everyone at Inside The Ropes wishes Drew McIntyre well in his recovery.
