In one of the co-main-events of Bash in Berlin, CM Punk defeated Drew McIntyre to settle the score with him in singles competitions. While many believe that the storyline might continue for the next WWE premium live event Bad Blood to set up a trilogy in this highly personal rivalry, the indication is that the winner of the bygone Strap Match might just want to pursue the world championship in the WWE.
Soaking up all in his glory, CM Punk was featured in a backstage interview following Bash in Berlin as he talked to Cathy Kelley. Responding to what the future could hold for him, he was interested in the main event of the show, that’s Gunther vs. Randy Orton for the World Heavyweight Championship as he said he was coming for the winner.
“Some people like to say ‘may the best man win.’ In this case, may the best man win because the better man is coming for you. I want the gold. I’m coming for you, sucka.”
