John Cena is one of the biggest stars of WWE and many want to follow the footsteps of the star. As it turns out the former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre has drawn similarities to the ‘Leader of Cenation’. ‘The Scottish Warrior’ is likely to miss the upcoming Royal Rumble event after dealing with legitimate neck issues. He was previously written off the programming following a brutal attack by Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss.
Drew McIntyre is likely to get John Cena ‘recovery’
WWE seemingly had to changed their plans with McIntyre likely to miss the Royal Rumble this year. He was an early favourite to win the match and then get added to the main event picture at WrestleMania.
As per Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, McIntyre has taken the ‘John Cena’ approach to recovery. Despite missing the Royal Rumble, he is expected to make his huge return for WrestleMania.
”Regarding McIntyre, he’s been doing rehab and decompression therapy on his neck. He’s taking the John Cena approach of double sessions six days a week and is pretty insistent he’ll make it back for WrestleMania,” said Meltzer.
Dave Meltzer also noted earlier that WWE had plans to have Drew McIntyre feature prominently at WrestleMania. He was also planned to have a big role to play at the Grandest Stage of Them All. He went on to detail the extent of McIntyre’s injury and how WWE Chairman Vince McMahon is keeping tab on his recover:
“Legitimately, McIntyre’s neck has been bothering him for months and if he kept going, he was on the way to major surgery. As of a few days ago, the plan was for McIntyre to have the neck looked at extensively over the next week,” said Meltzer.
We will have to see when McIntyre manages to make his return.
