WrestleMania 38 was short on time, but Drew McIntyre's entrance being cut wasn't a part of that.
Fightful Select has learned that it was actually Drew McIntyre's call to nix the planned WrestleMania entrance. It was originally noted by one of the people involved that it was due to time constraints, but we were told that wasn't the issue. Instead we're told McIntyre didn't feel like the additions didn't enhance the entrance and he wanted to connect to the crowd more than wanting an over the top entrance.
We're told that everyone that was supposed to be associated with the entrance still got paid, as well as all access passes to WrestleMania. The entrance was to feature several men in kilts with swords.
