The Scottish Warrior Drew McIntyre defeated Happy Corbin at WrestleMania 38 Night One. Previously, it was reported that WWE scrapped the McIntyre’s WrestleMania entrance after a tweet from actor and musician Sean Stark. His band was brought in only to be pulled back due to seemingly time constraints.
I was bummed about not being able to perform tonight. But @WWE was so accommodating. Got to meet so many amazing people. But meeting @RheaRipley_WWE was by far the highlight. Such an amazing women and such a talent. She was so kind. Thank you and hope to meet you again. 🤙🏻 pic.twitter.com/UEfrJJAPZ1

Now, Fightful Select reported that it was the two-time WWE Champion Drew McIntyre idea to cancel the live performance altogether. It was also noted that the entrance would have featured men with kilts and swords as well.
According to the source, McIntyre felt the entrance was not what he needed, and felt he had to connect with the crowd more. It was also reported that the people involved with the entrance were still paid and received all-access passes to WrestleMania.
