WWE's Drew McIntyre Explains How He Returned From Neck Injury So Quickly

After Drew McIntyre was written off of WWE TV at Day 1 following an attack by Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss, reports emerged that the former WWE Champion was suffering from a legit neck injury and could miss WrestleMania 38.

However, McIntyre defied the odds to return ahead of schedule, and during an appearance on Sports Guys Talk Wrestling, McIntyre explained how he was able to make such a speedy return:

"They dropped a lighting rig on my head and I came back three and a half weeks later,” exclaimed McIntyre. “I think everybody, including the doctor, was surprised at how soon I was able to come back. They told me, 'You're not making the Rumble. WrestleMania is possible, but let's say it's unlikely right now.' 'Okay Doc, no problem. I went straight to rehab and I've always had the John Cena approach to rehab with every injury. What's the most I can do for maximum benefit? 'Well, you could come twice a day for six days a week, but that would be crazy.' 'Done.' I did that, rehab-wise, twice a day, six days a week, while also working out, so three times a day, six days a week, take Sunday off. When I saw the doctor a few weeks later, they were like, 'Alright, wow, you're a cyborg, probably why you were called the Scottish Terminator. I guess you're ready to go.’"

McIntyre wrestled at the recent Elimination Chamber event in Saudi Arabia, and is likely set to face Happy Corbin at WrestleMania 38.
