Update: WWE Chief Content Officer Paul 'Triple H' Levesque gave an update on Drew McIntyre during the Backlash Press Conference Saturday night. He said everyone in the Men's United States Championship Match was able to come out of it healthy, including the Scottish Warrior.

"I think [Damian] Priest got a tooth that he's hoping will stay inside of his head for a couple days here and get solid again. Other than that, Drew McIntyre, a little banged up but totally fine."

This was a welcomed update following a PWInsider report that McIntyre was being check out by WWE medics after the match. You can read our original story below.

Original story: Drew McIntyre may have suffered an injury Saturday night at WWE Backlash.

The Scottish Warrior took part in the opening match of the night, which was the Fatal 4-Way for the Men's United States Championship. Jacob Fatu would defeat LA Knight, thanks to a debuting Jeff Cobb, to retain the gold.

That bout came down to Fatu and Knight after Priest and McIntyre took themselves out of the equation. These two rivals battled each other out into the equipment area, where Priest delivered a massive South of Heaven Choke Slam to McIntyre through two tables.
