Drew McIntyre Is Taking Leave of Absence From WWE
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre is reportedly set for an extended leave of absence from the company following his grueling Steel Cage match against Damian Priest at Saturday Night's Main Event on May 24, 2025. The brutal end to his Saturday night match, where Priest defeated him with a "sickening Con-Chair-To before calmly walking out of the cage door," is the storyline reason for his upcoming time off. This news comes from reports by Mike Johnson of PWInsider and Fightful Select. They stated"The Scottish Warrior" has been "banged up for several weeks" and working through injuries, though he continued to appear on television as planned. Ahead of the match, McIntyre had revealed to the Orlando Sentinel that he was already "unable to fully turn his head," adding that "working hurt is part of the game" for seasoned athletes. There is currently no word on when McIntyre will be back in the ring.

Despite being banged up, Priest has reportedly earned significant praise backstage for continuing to perform at a high level. McIntyre entered 2025 with a strong focus on regaining a World Championship. He was a participant in the Royal Rumble match in January, aiming to secure a main event spot at WrestleMania 41. While he had a dominant showing, he was ultimately unsuccessful in winning the Rumble.

WWE/Getty Images Following the Royal Rumble, McIntyre became embroiled in the #1 Contender's picture for the World Heavyweight Championship on Raw. This often put him at odds with other top contenders like Priest and CM Punk. He participated in the Elimination Chamber match in February 2025 in Perth, Australia, where the winner was to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania. McIntyre was a favorite but lost due to Priest's interference, further fueling their animosity. At WrestleMania 41, Priest went over McIntyre, which furthered their feud. At WWE Backlash, McIntyre competed in a Fatal 4-Way match for the United States Championship against then-champion Jacob Fatu, Damian Priest, and LA Knight. It's unclear when McIntyre will be back on WWE television, but fans are hoping it won't be for long. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.

John Cena Reveals Origin of His Iconic Catchphrase
Although Hulk Hogan and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin helped propel wrestling into a form of media accepted by the mainstream media masses, John Cena has been revolutionary in allowing his persona to shine outside of the squared circle. On numerous occasions, the Undisputed WWE Champion has alluded to the fact that he largely lives his gimmick, so there's always a sense of authenticity in his tone. For better and worse, Cena is always a bit formulaic in delivery, but with over 60 appearances a year during his prime, how could it not be? Regardless of the match, you know Cena is going to bust out a "five knuckle shuffle" that starts with his infamous "you can't see me" catchphrase, which has sparked endless memes and has adorned the backs of tens of thousands of t-shirts. But how did Cena come up with his legendary saying? John CenaGetty Images While speaking to a crowd at the Philadelphia Fan Expo, Cena revealed the inspiration behind the internet's favorite motto. Advertisement "It was an accident. My brother dared me to do it on television," Cena said. "I was on a Saturday night program called Velocity that nobody watched or cared about, but I personally loved it because that was the only match I could get. He dared me to do it on TV, and I did." Three years ago, during an appearance on Jimmy Fallon, Cena explained that the motion itself was sparked by hip-hop artist Tony Yayo, who put his hand over his face in the "So Seductive" music video. Cena will almost whip out his tagline this weekend when he squares off with R-Truth on "Saturday Night's Main Event" at the latest stop on his farewell tour. The show's card is starting to round into form, as it provides a convenient pit stop on the road to "Money in the Bank."
