Drew McIntyre comments on the looming end of his feud with CM Punk.
The bitter rivalry between Drew McIntyre and CM Punk has spanned 2024, and it is set to culminate at WWE Bad Blood. There, the two foes will clash in a Hell in a Cell match.
Speaking with Rick Ucchino for The Takedown on Sports Illustrated, Drew McIntyre looked back on CM Punk’s promo about how Drew would have to end his life at WWE Hell in a Cell to beat him.
“There it is. That’s CM Punk right there,” McIntyre recalled. “Through this journey, as I’ve said, we’ve both lifted each other up. As much as he likes to take credit, ‘Oh, I made you relevant.’ I’m like, come on man (laughs). You came back, walked right into a giant match and I brought CM Punk back. We lifted each other up. No matter how we feel about each other.”
McIntyre was then asked to comment on what was next after his feud with Punk. He noted that he had told WWE that they would not find something like it, as it was legitimate hatred.
“Whatever I do next, I’ve already told [WWE creative] you’re not gonna find something like this, because this is legitimate hatred, but I better have something I can buy into,” he said. “That’s based in truth. That I can really have fun with, because you see what can happen if you give me something I truly believe in.”
WrestleZone will have coverage of WWE Bad Blood as it airs on October 5.
