Drew McIntyre is making waves with his recent villainous turn, a character shift that commenced at WWE Crown Jewel. However, McIntyre took his antagonistic actions to a heightened level last week by targeting none other than CM Punk, renowned as the Best in the World. The saga continued to unfold on the latest episode of Monday Night RAW.
In a significant moment, Punk took the stage on RAW last week to confirm his absence from WrestleMania 40 due to a torn triceps suffered at the 2024 Royal Rumble event. McIntyre seized the opportunity to berate Punk, culminating in a ruthless attack on Punk’s injured arm, sidelining him from in-ring competition.
The narrative continued this week on the red brand as McIntyre interjected himself into an intense segment featuring World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes.
Stepping into the ring, McIntyre emphasized the shared animosity he and Rollins harbored for the Voice of the Voiceless, setting the stage for further confrontation.
In a symbolic gesture, McIntyre unzipped his jacket to reveal a new t-shirt adorned with a design depicting a gravesite, symbolizing the burial of CM Punk’s WrestleMania main event aspirations, with McIntyre depicted laughing at the notion. This marked another installment in McIntyre’s week-long campaign of mocking the former WWE champion.
With McIntyre’s momentum reaching unprecedented levels and his villainous persona taking center stage, the WWE Universe is left pondering how the Scottish Warrior will position himself on the road to WrestleMania 40. McIntyre’s actions have undoubtedly injected an element of intrigue into the storyline, leaving fans eager to witness the unfolding drama as the road to WrestleMania progresses.
