TOP STAR MISSES RAW EVENT, WWE UPDATES ON PHOENIX, WOLFE, ENGLISH AND MORE

Drew McIntyre missed last night’s live event due to travel issues. The word among talents is he had a travel day from hell and tried all day to make the show but faced flight problems at every turn. One talent joked that it had to be "horrible" if Drew missed a show. He will appear on the remainder of the live events this weekend. Jinder Mahal substituted for McIntyre last night.

The finish to my first @WWENXT full sail match. At this point my forearm had been broken for about 4 mins or so.

Cleanest finish? Strongest pin? Absolutely not... but I think I pulled it off with one wrist. #IndyForLife pic.twitter.com/Y3PB0W4h6o — Chelsea Green (@ImChelseaGreen) April 20, 2019
