The world of professional wrestling has been abuzz with the latest developments in the ongoing feud between WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre and former AEW star CM Punk.
The Scottish Warrior, known for his fearless attitude and unbridled passion, recently made headlines with a scathing remark aimed at Punk on The Pat McAfee Show. However, what was meant to be a bold statement quickly turned into a controversy, leaving fans wondering if McIntyre had crossed a line.
During the interview, McIntyre took a personal jab at Punk, saying, “Do I seem like the average troll? I’ll tear you apart physically, and if I wasn’t married I’d take your girl too.”
The comment was widely perceived as a direct attack on Punk’s wife, AJ Lee, a former WWE Superstar. McIntyre’s words sparked outrage among fans, who felt that he had gone too far in his verbal assault.
In an attempt to diffuse the situation, McIntyre took to Twitter to clarify his statement. He posted a tweet claiming that his comment was a general statement and not specifically aimed at Punk.
However, the damage was already done, and the tweet was subsequently deleted. The screenshot of the now-deleted post has been circulating online, fueling the debate about whether McIntyre’s words were justified or not.
McIntyre’s comments come on the heels of a long-standing feud between him and Punk.
The two wrestlers have been at odds for quite some time, with their rivalry reaching a boiling point at WrestleMania XL when Punk cost McIntyre the World Heavyweight Championship.
The bad blood between them continues to simmer, with fans eagerly awaiting their next encounter.
Interestingly, McIntyre also revealed on The Pat McAfee Show that Punk’s attack on him at WrestleMania XL left him injured, fracturing his elbow and forcing him to wrestle through pain.
Despite this, McIntyre showed remarkable resilience, competing in a four-way match the very next day and embarking on a European tour where he faced Jey Uso every night.
Meanwhile, Punk is currently out of action due to an injury sustained at the 2024 Royal Rumble event. His absence has only added fuel to the fire, with fans eagerly anticipating his return and a potential showdown with McIntyre.
As the drama unfolds, one thing is certain – the rivalry between Drew McIntyre and CM Punk is far from over. Will their eventual clash be a battle for supremacy
