Drew McIntyre Facing 'Fight Against Time' To Be Cleared For WWE WrestleMania 41

With less than two weeks until WWE WrestleMania 41, Drew McIntyre finds himself in a ‘fight against time’ in order to be cleared for his expected bout against Damian Priest at the show.

Priest took McIntyre out on the March 28 edition of SmackDown, with the ‘Archer of Infamy’ chokeslamming McIntyre onto a car windshield. Unfortunately for Drew, something went into his eye, necessitating the use of an eyepatch.

Speaking with It’s Called Soccer, McIntyre spoke about the unfortunate accident, and how it could affect his WrestleMania plans:

“Part of the glass, where I landed on the windshield, bounced up and landed directly in my eyeball. I’m currently sporting the patch, hoping I can figure this thing out and get myself on WrestleMania. It’s a fight against time right now,” said McIntyre.

McIntyre continued, noting that his eye aside, the windshield bump wasn’t too bad:

"It didn’t feel that bad. I’ve never landed on a windshield in my life. He probably should’ve thrown me on top of the car or the concrete to hurt more. I’ve never landed on a windshield, but the glass is designed to spider out. I was wearing a leather jacket so thankfully I didn’t get all cut up. The fall wasn’t great, but not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Some debris came up in the air and landed straight in my eye, so I’m dealing with that right now. The eye thing wasn’t supposed to happen. I’m not supposed to be sitting here right now with an eyepatch on, yet, I am."
