CM Punk vs Drew McIntyre: 3 things they can do to make their feud more personal

Every week, the rivalry between Drew McIntyre and CM Punk grows in the Stamford-based event. Even on the most recent edition of Monday Night RAW, The Second City Saint revealed his desire to battle The Scottish Warrior inside the squared circle, adding fire to their feud.

Aside from their on-screen battles, both wrestlers are engaged in a social media war of words, heightening fan interest in their upcoming match. Hence on that note, we look at three ways CM Punk and Drew McIntyre might take their conflict even more personally in the coming weeks:

3. Drew Mclntyre brings AJ Lee in his promos

One strategy for The Scottish Psychopath to increase the conflict between McIntyre and Punk personally is to bring in the latter's wife, AJ Lee, in his promotional videos. CM Punk's real-life husband, including Lee in their storyline, might add a very emotional dimension to their conflict. Fans would be fascinated by the possibility of Lee appearing again in a WWE storyline. Aside from that, including family members in disputes has historically increased audience interest. For example, in the buildup to AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe at SummerSlam in 2018, both families were involved, adding emotional depth to their feud. Similarly, including AJ Lee might provide an intriguing new dimension to the McIntyre vs. Punk battle.

2. A home invasion angle may help increase the conflict

Home invasion angles have long been a popular plot tactic in professional wrestling. Using a house invasion storyline might further increase the antagonism between Punk and McIntyre. The most likely scenario would be for the past Royal Rumble winner to stage an invasion on The Best in the World's home.

1. CM Punk aim at Drew Mclntyre's failure

CM Punk has continuously highlighted Drew McIntyre's opportunities in recent months. Meanwhile, McIntyre's passion to blame others for his failings has played a big role in his recent nasty turn. To further personalise their fight, CM Punk might begin relentlessly spotlighting McIntyre's flaws and mistakes. In recent weeks, the Straight Edge Superstar has often recalled McIntyre's five-minute and 46-second loss to the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XL.
