At a recent live event in the United Kingdom, a prominent WWE Superstar aimed a personal shot at CM Punk, who is currently sidelined with a torn tricep sustained during the Men’s Royal Rumble match in January.
Drew McIntyre, locked in a bitter feud with Punk, escalated tensions at WrestleMania XL when he clinched the World Heavyweight Championship, only to lose it moments later.
In a heated confrontation with Punk at ringside, McIntyre was blindsided by the former AEW star, who used his cast to assault him.
Seizing the chaos, Damian Priest capitalized on the opportunity, cashing in his Money in the Bank contract to claim the title.
At a WWE live event in Birmingham, chants of “CM Punk” echoed throughout the arena, provoking McIntyre to further lash out at the sidelined wrestler, asserting that Punk wouldn’t make the journey to the United Kingdom even if he were healthy.
In other news, WWE SmackDown announcer Corey Graves disclosed in an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling that he and CM Punk have reconciled their differences and are once again on good terms.
Whole arena just chanted CM Punk at Drew McIntyre, so he grabbed a mic and said:
“Even if he was healthy, which is never, he’d never make the trip to the UK”
