Moving on in a backstage segment on WWE Raw, CM Punk was seen taken away to a medical facility on a stretcher with blood coming out of his mouth. McIntyre attacked him and further hurt Punk by putting thumbs in his eyes. The officials dragged McIntyre away from the scene to avoid some more damage.
The highly personal rivalry between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre continued at last night’s Bash in Berlin 2024 WWE premium live event that went down from the Uber Arena in Berlin, Germany. The two competed in a Strap Match where Punk picked up the win and settled the score with McIntyre.
But it wasn’t a pin-fall or submission win as the only way to win the match was to touch down the four corners of the ring at a time. Thus, the outcome protected McIntyre, and seemingly, he’s coming after Punk, yet again. Going by the happenings on WWE Raw, the third match between them will be there to set up a trilogy and it might end up being a stipulated match.
