The wrestling world was abuzz with excitement as CM Punk, the Straight Edge Superstar, seemingly referenced All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in his promo on the latest edition of RAW. Punk’s comments did not go unnoticed, and Drew McIntyre, the Scottish Warrior, wasted no time in responding to the jab. This development has added fuel to the fire, hinting at an impending showdown between the two wrestling giants.
Punk’s reference to AEW came on the heels of a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, where he discussed a real-life backstage altercation with Jack Perry at AEW All In 2023. AEW’s decision to air unseen footage of the scuffle on Dynamite received significant backlash from fans and professionals alike. Punk, known for his outspoken nature, didn’t hold back, calling himself a different kind of “choke artist” than his rival, Drew McIntyre.
Not one to take things lying down, Drew McIntyre took to X (formerly Twitter) to respond to Punk’s comments, sparking a further escalation of the ongoing feud. The tension between the two superstars has been building, and their eventual clash is highly anticipated by wrestling enthusiasts.
Interestingly, Matt Hardy, a former AEW star, co-hosting The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, agreed that a CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre showdown should headline an upcoming premium live event, given the apparent legitimate heat between the two. This sentiment has been echoed by fans and insiders alike, who are eagerly awaiting the moment when The Best in the World takes on The Scottish Warrior in a one-on-one match.
As Punk continues to recover from a tricep injury sustained at Royal Rumble 2024, WWE is pulling out all the stops to build a solid feud between the two superstars. With the intensity and animosity between Punk and McIntyre reaching a boiling point, wrestling fans can hardly contain their excitement for the impending showdown.
Stay tuned, as the wrestling world waits with bated breath for the moment when CM Punk and Drew McIntyre finally lock horns inside the squared circle. Will The Best in the World emerge victorious, or will The Scottish Warrior prove himself to be the superior force? Only time will tell.
