CM Punk’s WWE comeback in November sparked intense confrontations with fellow wrestlers, especially Drew McIntyre. At WrestleMania XL, McIntyre’s title win led to a brawl with Punk, culminating in Damian Priest’s surprise victory.
Now, Sheamus has jumped into the fray, taking aim at McIntyre’s recent weight gain and his clash with Punk.
On Twitter/X, Sheamus didn’t hold back, referencing McIntyre’s scuffle with Punk at WrestleMania XL:
“After you gave him a deranged lapdance at ‘Mania… CM Punk Kicked Your Ar*e.”
Sheamus’s comeback follows his loss to Edge in August 2023 and an injury hiatus. But his return has been fiery, with a direct jab at McIntyre’s WrestleMania XL encounter.
Meanwhile, discussions swirl about McIntyre’s WWE future. Former WWE staffer Tommy Carlucci weighed in, expressing shock at the idea of McIntyre leaving.
Carlucci believes WWE would prioritize extending McIntyre’s contract given his multifaceted talent and star power. McIntyre’s contract status adds a layer of uncertainty to his ongoing feud with Punk and potential clashes with Sheamus.
In the aftermath of WrestleMania XL, where Punk once again thwarted McIntyre’s title aspirations, the Scottish Warrior finds himself sidelined from the title picture.
This setback could pave the way for a heated rivalry with Sheamus while Punk recuperates from his injury, setting the stage for intense showdowns on WWE programming.
