WWE superstar Drew McIntyre shared graphic footage of the extent of his recent knee injury.
Professional wrestlers often compete injured on both televised and non-televised matches.

Therefore, McIntyre, 39, had to fight through the pain before Friday’s scheduled bout on SmackDown.
But to do that the British bruiser first had to drain his knee, which was suffering from a recent knock.
The Scottish Warrior recorded the whole thing as WWE medics pulled out an enormous amount of fluid, which filled almost the entire syringe, and shared the footage on Instagram.
The procedure took place just 45 minutes before the three-time world champion’s match against Jimmy Uso.
McIntyre posted the following caption: “This is my knee being drained of fluid 45 minutes before my match. Wish me luck.”
The ex-WWE Champion went on to lose the fight to Uso, who beat him with a Roll-Up.
But the first and only British WWE world champion had the last laugh as he left Big Jim laying after a vicious post-match attack.
McIntyre knocked the eight-time tag team champion out with a devastating Claymore.
Nevertheless, this loss came at a bad time for the heavyweight athlete ahead of his scheduled big fight at Elimination Chamber on March 1 at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
McIntyre will compete in the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match against John Cena, CM Punk, Logan Paul, Damian Priest and Seth Rollins.
The winner will challenge Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41.
