Triple H Claims WWE Star Is Fine After Sick Backlash Bump

Triple H WWE Backlash press conference

Triple H has given an update on a top WWE star following a frightening moment at Backlash that very nearly ended in complete disaster.

At Backlash, Jacob Fatu put his WWE US Title on the line against Drew McIntyre, Damian Priest, and LA Knight in a fatal four-way match. However, the field became a bit clearer for Fatu and Knight as McIntyre and Priest took each other out of the match.

The WrestleMania 41 opponents fought through the arena and ended up on top of crates when Priest nailed McIntyre with a huge South of Heaven chokeslam through some tables. The Scottish star overshot the table somewhat and immediately clutched his head after landing hard on the floor.

Triple H Says Drew McIntyre Is Fine

PWInsider reported that McIntyre was being looked over by medical staff after the match. But it was better news from Triple H at the post-show press conference, who noted that McIntyre was “a little banged up” but otherwise totally fine. The proof of that will perhaps be in how quickly McIntyre is back in the ring following the bout.

Jacob Fatu escaped with his US Title when he pinned LA Knight after some unlikely help. Jeff Cobb wiped out Knight in his shock WWE debut as Cobb looks to be the latest member of The Bloodline, something Fatu didn’t look too thrilled with.
