Former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre will not appear on next week's episode of Raw due to a film shoot with Batista.

 McIntyre returned after WrestleMania 39 at the Money in the Bank premium live event last week.  He attacked Gunther.  Since then, his rivalry with the Imperium is going on. 

On this week's episode of the red brand, he and Matt Riddle faced off against Giovanni Vinci and Ludwig Kaiser.  Matt and Drew pull off a great win.

McIntyre and Riddle did their interviews backstage after the victory.  Riddle announced that he would face Gunther in a singles match next week. 

McIntyre said that he will not be on the red brand next week as his backup.  Riddle said that he has already spoken to Adam Pearce and that Imperium will be banned from ringside during their match against The Ring General next week on Raw.

Two-time former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre will not appear on next week's show as he has been cast in the upcoming action film The Killer Game.  The motion picture stars Ice Cube and former WWE Superstar Batista, now known in Hollywood as Dave Batista.
