At WrestleMania 40, Drew McIntyre’s journey culminated in a triumphant moment as he defeated Seth Rollins to claim the World Heavyweight Title before a record-breaking crowd in Philidelphia.
However, McIntyre’s victory celebration was short-lived as brief altercation with CM Punk who was on commentary for the match paved the way for Money in the Bank winner Damian Priest to cash in and seize the title away from The Scottish Warrior.
The animosity between the two escalated further as Punk emerged from beneath the ring during the closing moments of the No.1 contender Fatal-4 Way main event match and grabbed Mcintyre’s leg as he was about to connect with the Claymore Kick.
The distraction proved to be timely as Jey Uso capitalized on the same and knocked down Drew McIntyre to claim the opportunity for future World Heavyweight title match, while the Best in the World stuck it to Drew for the second time in a row.
Moreover, CM Punk took to his Instagram stories to share a photo from underneath the ring, clicking WWE RAW commentators Michael Cole and Pat McAfee minutes before emerging in front of the crowd.
“@patmcafeeshow @michaelcole.”
With Punk sidelined due to a triceps injury inflicted by McIntyre, speculation mounts about a future showdown between the bitter rivals once Punk is cleared to return to the ring and take his revenge against the man who cost him a chance to headline WrestleMania this year.
