Drew McIntyre Faces Longer Absence from WWE Action

Drew McIntyre will no longer be back in time for SummerSlam, according to Ibou of *Self Made Pro*.

The Scottish Warrior has not been seen on WWE television since Night 1 of WrestleMania on April 18, when he lost a Street Fight to Jacob Fatu.

He has already filmed the upcoming *Highlander* remake and is joining the Russell Crowe-led action film, *The Last Druid*.

McIntyre's budding film career appears poised to keep him busy for the foreseeable future, with a scheduled appearance at Fanatics Fest on July 16.

This may indicate he could still make an appearance on WWE TV in time to set something up for SummerSlam.

But for now, his schedule appears somewhat packed, leaving his WWE return uncertain.

The former WWE champion's absence will be felt, especially if he misses SummerSlam, a major event for the WWE.

As reported by Deadline on Monday, McIntyre's film commitments may take priority over his wrestling schedule.

And with Rhea Ripley's injury update also uncertain, the WWE landscape is changing rapidly.

The SmackDown women's division and SummerSlam as a whole may be impacted by Ripley's potential absence.

So the WWE will have to adjust its plans accordingly, potentially changing match lineups and storylines.

Drew McIntyre's fans will have to wait and see when he will return to WWE action, but for now, his focus is on his film career.
