The ongoing saga between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre on WWE Raw will continue on next week’s episode when the former makes an appearance to escalate things further. This comes after the latter returned on this week’s episode and failed to get reinstated on the roster from his currently ongoing storyline suspension.
On the July 15 episode of WWE Raw, Adam Pearce told Drew McIntyre to apologize to the two referees that McIntyre hurt in a brawl after the Money in the Bank premium live event a few days ago. McIntyre refused to do it as he was scre*ed by Punk on different occasions in his attempt to become a world champion on these referees’ watch.

McIntyre also blamed Pearce for Punk’s continuous efforts to rob him of the world title match wins. Pearce informed McIntyre that he would remain suspended if he didn’t apologize to the officials. In response, McIntyre took out both referees and confronted Pearce. Seth Rollins came out and got into a brawl with McIntyre on WWE Raw. Rollins went for his finisher Stomp, but McIntyre dodged the attempt.
