Before WrestleMania 40, Drew McIntyre sent out a tweet that some assumed was just another troll.

McIntyre claimed that UPS lost his ring gear, and he used the opportunity to mock CM Punk, asking if he could borrow some trunks since the injured Punk wouldn't need them.

Special effects artist Jason Baker revealed on Tuesday that McIntyre legitimately lost his gear before WrestleMania. Baker's wife Mandy, who is a production designer, worked all night on Saturday so that McIntyre would have new gear for his match against Seth Rollins.

"His gear was legit lost. Not a work. You suck @UPS," Jason Baker wrote. "My phenomenal wife @SandyMimpson left #WrestleMania40 night one during the show, stayed up until 6am, and had replacement gear ready for @DMcIntyreWWE before the start of Night 2. She’s an absolute legend! #proudhusband"

Rollins vs. McIntyre opened the action on Sunday. McIntyre defeated Rollins to win the World Heavyweight title, but his reign ended almost immediately. Damian Priest cashed in on McIntyre to become the new champion.

The story was that McIntyre's obsession with trolling Punk cost him his WrestleMania moment. After defeating Rollins, McIntyre turned his attention to mocking Punk (who was on commentary for the match). Punk responded by taking off his arm brace and using it to attack McIntyre. That allowed Priest the opportunity to cash in.

Punk again cost McIntyre on Monday's post-WrestleMania episode of Raw. Interference by Punk led to McIntyre losing a fatal four-way number one contender's match.

Jey Uso won the number one contender's match and is first in line for a shot at Priest's World Heavyweight Championship.
