Drew McIntyre recently opened up about his three-month hiatus from WWE, revealing that Logan Paul was the only person who reached out to him during that time. Speaking on the Impulse Podcast, McIntyre described feeling isolated and largely ignored by his WWE peers in the locker room following his grueling Hell in a Cell match against CM Punk.
He shared, "After that match, I was physically and emotionally drained. I expected some support from the guys, but the silence was overwhelming. WWE talks about being a family, but when I needed support the most, only one person checked in on me—and that was Logan Paul."
Upon his return to WWE television, McIntyre hinted that just one individual had reached out, but he didn’t disclose who at that time. Now, fans know it was Paul, which is surprising given Logan’s background as a celebrity-turned-wrestler.
McIntyre emphasized, "Logan Paul, often seen as an outsider, was the only person who checked on me. That really says something about what WWE calls ‘family.’"
His remarks ignited discussions among fans and insiders about WWE’s behind-the-scenes dynamics. As McIntyre prepares to team up with Paul at SummerSlam, he won’t forget how other WWE superstars abandoned him during a vulnerable time.
He concluded, "I’ve learned to rely on myself. If you have a true family in WWE, it’s a rare thing."
Stay tuned for updates on Drew McIntyre’s journey and the ongoing conversations about WWE’s backstage culture.
