Report: Backstage Heat on a Rising WWE Superstar

F4WOnline.com reports that Drew McIntyre is on the receiving end of heat from WWE officials and some of his fellow Superstars.

Specifics were not offered, but the report claims that office workers are souring on McIntyre due to issues with his “behavior.”

His wrestling colleagues, meanwhile, have reportedly developed a feeling of resentment for the wrestler. There was natural resentment at the onset of his push, as fellow talent obviously questioned whether he deserved such high profile creative backing.

Additional ill will has emerged due to the fact that despite his failure to truly get over, WWE has not yet abandoned his push (and, if anything, has given him a more substantial role). The feeling from those frustrated wrestlers is that because his fortunate opportunity has not proven successful, the television time and creative support should be given to those who have more effectively worked to get themselves over.

Sources backstage were clear in emphasizing that his recent marriage to Tiffany has nothing to do with the backstage resentment.
