It appears that Drew McIntyre was able to avoid an injury while wrestling Dean Ambrose during the latest Raw Brand Live Event from Tupelo on Saturday night.

The commotion started when a fan who was in attendance for the show revealed that the ‘X’ sign was thrown during a match between the Scottish Psychopath and the Lunatic Fringe.

At first, it was believed that Dean Ambrose had suffered some real damage as the sign was thrown immediately after McIntyre hit him with a Claymore kick:

Though it turned out to be the other way around and according to the fan, it was the former NXT Champion who had to be helped backstage after the bout, while Dean walked out of the arena on his own:

Thankfully it appears that situation was not very bad as providing an update on his status, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer confirmed that McIntyre too was fine. He described what happened as a ‘close call’.

We’ll keep you updated on his condition but as of now, it appears that the former Champion was able to avoid the worst and there are no serious concerns about his health.

There is no news on what the company is planning for Drew McIntyre’s future and it would be interesting to see who turns out be his opponent for WrestleMania.
