Drew McIntyre issues intense warning to CM Punk amid escalating feud

NEW DELHI: The tension between Drew McIntyre and CM Punk has reached a boiling point in their ongoing feud, which has been brewing since Punk's return to WWE in late 2023. McIntyre has been relentless in his attacks on Punk, particularly targeting Punk's injury and claiming credit for ending Punk's dream of headlining WrestleMania 40. This animosity came to a head at WrestleMania, where Punk cost McIntyre a championship win, fueling the flames of their rivalry.
In a recent development, McIntyre issued a warning to Punk via a video posted on his X/Twitter account. Speaking directly to the camera, McIntyre unleashed a scathing promo, accusing Punk of manipulating the narrative to serve his own interests and agenda. McIntyre praised Punk's skills in persuasion, likening him to someone who could "sell ice to an Eskimo" backstage.

McIntyre didn't hold back, calling out Punk for allegedly avoiding confrontations with him over the past two weeks. He accused Punk of orchestrating strategic exits from the arena to evade him, claiming that Punk knows facing him head-on would spell his downfall. McIntyre asserted that Punk is merely biding his time, fully aware that McIntyre is closing in on exposing him for who he truly is.
Drew McIntyre said, “Punk, you’re a hypocrite. You say all I do is live on social media. You spent the whole week pretending to be locked in WWE headquarters, and you posted it to your Instagram. You made these comments on TV. Only the nerdiest of basement-dwellers would ever actually understand. Let’s break down what you’ve actually done since you’ve done since you’ve done this place up, and break down is the operative word here.”
“You’ve had exactly one televised fight. You lost, you got injured, by me. You hung around at TV, headquarters and TV like a bad smell. Go home to Larry. You’re playing a game of hide and seek that you think you’re winning. But you’re not. One last thing. I heard what you said. If you actually turn up to Glasgow, you’re not gonna leave in one piece. It won’t necessarily be my doing, mate. That’d be a fair warning.”
The intensity of McIntyre's warning underscores the deep-seated animosity between the two superstars, setting the stage for a potentially explosive showdown in the near future. As tensions escalate and egos clash, fans can expect fireworks as McIntyre and Punk continue their bitter feud in the WWE spotlight.
