Despite being sidelined due to an injury, CM Punk remains one of the hottest topics in professional wrestling, and his ongoing feud with seven-time WWE champion Drew McIntyre is still heavily talked about within the WWE Universe. The tension between the two WWE superstars continues to escalate, even from the sidelines.
The drama unfolded at WrestleMania XL, where Punk was on commentary for McIntyre’s match against Seth Rollins. After the Scotsman won the World Heavyweight Championship, he taunted The Second City Saint, leading to a reaction from Punk. This allowed Damian Priest to cash in his Money in the Bank contract and win the championship, snatching it from McIntyre’s grasp just minutes after he had won it.
Punk took to Instagram to recap his feud with McIntyre, using Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Euphoria,” which was originally aimed at Drake. The post has sparked even more buzz around the already electric rivalry. The question on everyone’s mind is: what’s next for these two WWE superstars?
For those who may have forgotten, CM Punk made his highly-anticipated return to WWE during the Survivor Series 2023, after a nine-year hiatus. He had a brief stint in AEW before making his way back to the Stamford-based promotion. Speaking on Countdown to WWE Backlash France, Punk opened up about his return, describing the deafening roar of the Chicago crowd as akin to having a stroke.
Punk’s first official match since returning to WWE was the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble Match. Although he came close to winning, he was eliminated by eventual winner Cody Rhodes. Unfortunately, his in-ring return is still pending, as he recovers from the triceps injury sustained during the same match.
As the WWE Universe eagerly awaits Punk’s return to the ring, the drama surrounding his feud with McIntyre continues to charm fans worldwide. Will Punk finally get his revenge, or will McIntyre continue to reign supreme? One thing is certain – the ongoing rivalry between these two WWE powerhouses will remain a hot topic of conversation until its eventual resolution.
