In a twist more shocking than a Vince McMahon return, Drew McIntyre has taken his feud with CM Punk to a whole new level. Fresh off his brutal beatdown of Punk in Chicago on Friday’s “WWE SmackDown,” McIntyre stormed “WWE Raw” with a vengeance, kicking off the show by taunting his arch-nemesis and declaring his intent to win the Money in the Bank contract. Oh, and he’s planning to cash it in on the same night to become the World Heavyweight Champion while Punk sulks at home. Ouch!
McIntyre, sporting a smirk that could rival the Cheshire Cat, began his promo by addressing the buzz about his supposed “quitting.” He corrected the narrative, saying that fans should be talking about his attack on Punk instead. McIntyre expressed his disdain for the fans still chanting for the “Second City Saint,” especially after Punk cost him the title he vowed to win for his sick wife. The Scottish Psychopath’s disdain was palpable, and he didn’t hold back.
In a move straight out of a supervillain’s playbook, McIntyre brandished a beaded friendship bracelet he snatched from Punk’s wrist during their brawl. The bracelet, adorned with the names “Larry” (Punk’s beloved dog) and “AJ” (his real-life wife, AJ Lee), became a twisted trophy. McIntyre, now sporting the bracelet, declared that he has Punk’s family “in his corner.” This is WWE-level mind games at its finest!
With a glint of determination in his eye, McIntyre announced his plan to “answer” the Money in the Bank ladder match call and win it in Toronto, Canada, on July 6. He boldly claimed he would achieve victory while Punk watched in “pain and misery” from his couch. Despite his bravado, McIntyre has yet to win a qualifying match or be officially announced for the Money in the Bank match, but hey, details, right?
Hold onto your hats, folks. This feud is just heating up!
