In the world of WWE, the animosity between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre shows no signs of cooling down anytime soon.
The bitter rivalry that has been intensifying since January between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre took another heated turn, with McIntyre having previously wished injury upon Punk. This spite culminated with Punk costing McIntyre the World Heavyweight Championship at the grand WrestleMania 40.
During the May 6 installment of WWE RAW, Drew McIntyre was slated to face Jey Uso in the opening round of the King of the Ring tournament. Unfortunately, due to medical reasons, McIntyre was declared unable to compete which led to his removal from the match. Although barred from competing, McIntyre made his presence felt by causing a distraction for Jey Uso, who was up against McIntyre’s replacement. Despite this interference, Uso emerged victorious.
An incensed McIntyre left the scene in haste, followed by the arrival of CM Punk. With a bold entrance, Punk took to the ring and held the RAW show at bay, demanding McIntyre return to confront him. Punk reminisced over their ongoing strife, calling out McIntyre for initiating a bitter brawl with the ‘pettiest man in the business’—possibly even in the world.
CM Punk further promised to escalate the feud to unbearable heights for McIntyre, vowing not only to shatter his face but also his spirit. Adding to his threats, Punk hinted at continuing their feud at the upcoming WWE event, Clash at the Castle, where he may potentially face off with McIntyre again.
