Drew McIntyre Took John Cena Approach When Rehabbing Neck Injury

Drew McIntyre remains one of the top Superstars in WWE and certainly has a lot of passion for the pro wrestling business. He is a former two-time WWE Champion and was the face of the company during the pandemic era as the WWE Champion. He is also never afraid to give advice to his peers whenever needed.

The Scottish Warrior was said to be rehabbing as hard as John Cena in order to make his return before WrestleMania 38 after suffering neck injuries. Despite this, he made his return at the Royal Rumble on January 29th to the shock of fans everywhere around the world.

While speaking on Sports Guys Talk Wrestling, Drew McIntyre talked about his recovery process prior to making his in-ring return after his neck injury. McIntyre bragged about taking the John Cena approach in terms of rehabbing his neck injury.

“They dropped a lighting rig on my head and I came back three and a half weeks later. 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.”

Drew McIntyre recently defeated Madcap Moss at WWE Elimination Chamber as well. We will have to wait and see what is next in store for the Scottish Warrior.
