Drew McIntyre will not be part of the King of the Ring tournament, as he is not medically cleared to compete on tonight’s WWE Raw.

You can see the announcement below.
McIntyre noted on the Pat McAfee show last week that he had been working with a fractured elbow that he sustained when CM Punk swept his legs out from under him at WrestleMania 40, a move which led to him losing the World Heavyweight Championship to Damian Priest.
