Furthermore, the report also mentioned that Drew wasn't putting on an act when he revealed he suffered a ruptured eardrum during the men's Elimination Chamber match. It's a legitimate injury, but McIntyre appears to be fine, as he's scheduled to have a match with Jey Uso on the March 5th episode of Monday Night Raw.

McIntyre will be challenging Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40. There are a number of ways that match can go depending on whether or not Drew puts pen to paper before "The Showcase of the Immortals."
