Fresh head wound fuels tension ahead of Sin City Street Fight at WrestleMania 41

Summary
– McIntyre suffered a bloody gash during his attack on Damian Priest on SmackDown

– The injury occurred near the same spot that once required 16 staples

– WWE expects McIntyre to compete as scheduled in his WrestleMania 41 match

Drew McIntyre left SmackDown with more than just momentum heading into WrestleMania—he left with blood on his hands and a new wound on his head. After launching a surprise attack on Damian Priest, McIntyre posted a graphic photo to Instagram showing a fresh gash on his scalp.

The cut appeared dangerously close to the area that once needed 16 staples following his Hell in a Cell match with CM Punk. Alongside the image, McIntyre wrote, “Some wounds never truly heal,” hinting at the emotional and physical toll behind the scenes.

Despite the injury, there’s no indication the Scottish Warrior will miss WrestleMania. According to PWInsider, there’s been no talk of the cut affecting his availability for the match. McIntyre is still locked in for a Sin City Street Fight with Damian Priest at WrestleMania 41.

Their feud reached a violent new peak on SmackDown when McIntyre ambushed Priest before their scheduled face-to-face. The segment devolved into a chaotic brawl, ending with McIntyre driving Priest’s skull into the steel steps with a devastating Future Shock DDT.

With blood already spilled and no rules in place, this match has all the makings of a war.
