Drew McIntyre could not win the World Heavyweight Championship at the Clash at the Castle. Despite being his backyard, Drew failed to beat Damian Priest, thanks to a lot of adversities. While the referee getting injured was a factor, the biggest turn-off for Drew was the CM Punk curse. The Scottish Warrior lost the match due to the interference of the Chicago wrestler.
Later in the post-match talk, Punk claimed that he would do everything in his might to ensure Drew would never become a world champion again. The feud between these two is arguably the best in the company at the moment. Ever since CM Punk returned to the company at Survivor Series 2023, two wrestlers have not been happy.
While Seth Rollins has not gotten an opportunity to address it after WrestleMania XL, Drew has expressed his anguish in every possible scenario. However, it is Punk who has had the last laugh when it mattered the most. He was silent till Drew won the title at Philadelphia. It was Drew who landed himself in unnecessary trouble. Punk did nothing much and just caused a bit of distraction in the night.
Long feud between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre
Damian cashed in and won the world title. Since then, Punk and McIntyre have had promos against each other. Despite the two being injured in different instances, they have delivered great promos and the crowd has loved it. The ending at the Clash at the Castle is a progressive step towards the feud between Punk and Drew. Their feud is so good that it does not need a title on the line.
McIntyre will surely address the CM Punk issue in the next few weeks, which could set the match between the two at Money in the Bank and at Summerslam. Their feud is likely to be longer and eventually, there is likely to be the much-anticipated triple-threat match between the two and Rollins, which could be one of the best stories in recent times.
