Drama Unfolds at WWE Backlash: McIntyre’s Potential Injury and Title Controversy

The WWE Backlash Premium Live Event has left fans reeling after a series of unexpected twists and turns. The drama began with the opening bout of the night, a Fatal Four-Way Match that saw Drew McIntyre’s potential injury become a major talking point. Many fans believe that the Scotsman should have emerged victorious and claimed the United States Championship.

The controversy surrounds a moment when McIntyre appeared to have the match won after delivering a Claymore to LA Knight. The official, making his PLE debut, counted to two before being dragged out of the ring by Damian Priest. Replays suggest that the referee’s hand was down for the three-count, leading to widespread claims of a botch and assertions that McIntyre should be the rightful champion.

Despite the controversy, Jacob Fatu retained his United States Championship title thanks to interference from other wrestlers. The match also saw the debut of Jeff Cobb, who joined The New Bloodline and helped to wipe out the competition. However, the real story revolves around the ongoing feud between Damian Priest and McIntyre, which seems far from over.

The incident has sparked intense debate among WWE fans, with many calling for a rematch between McIntyre and Priest. If McIntyre is able to return to action ahead of Saturday Night’s Main Event, it is likely that the two men will face off once again. Both wrestlers may also be part of the Money in the Bank contract ladder match next month, setting the stage for a thrilling showdown.

As the WWE gears up for a series of upcoming events, the drama and tension between its top stars continue to build. With several storylines starting to unfold, fans can expect an exciting few months ahead. The question on everyone’s mind is: what’s next for McIntyre, Priest, and the United States Championship? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – the WWE universe will be watching with bated breath.
