Drew McIntyre is currently undergoing rehab for the bicep injury that he suffered in his match with Andrade Almas at NXT TakeOver, and the hope is that he’ll be able to return in early April, according to PWInsider. That would be around WrestleMania weekend, when NXT of course also runs a TakeOver event.
There’s still no word on what the exact injury is or if McIntyre underwent surgery, but the belief is that it’s a torn bicep in his left arm, which he suffered in the final DDT spot of the match.

Unfortunately I did suffer an injury during my title defense at TakeOver. I’ve dealt with setbacks before. The reality is, I always come back better…There's a scary thought for whomever is NXT champion come 2018… #TickTock
