He appeared at ringside for "Takeover: Orlando" during WrestleMania 33 Week in Orlando but worked last week's TV tapings from Full Sail University as well. PWInsider reports that McIntyre agreed to terms for a one-year deal back on April 1st, which is why he pulled out of the WWN Live show that was running the same day as Takeover.
