Drew McIntyre responds to CM Punk.
CM Punk and Drew McIntyre have played a game of cat and mouse over the past two weeks, as seen on the May 6 episode of WWE RAW. McIntyre left the show, just as Punk was arriving. Punk then came to the ring and said he would break McIntyre’s face and his heart.
On May 7, Drew McIntyre took to social media to respond.
“Let’s talk about CM Punk, shall we? I know you’re all gonna say, ‘What a shock. Why didn’t you say all this on Raw? All you do is talk on social media.’ The stuff Punk has planted in your head. But by the end, you’re gonna say, ‘Damn, Drew’s right again.’ There’s a reason I do a lot of my talking on here. It’s not always possible to deliver your message on live TV effectively. You’ve got so many people working against you. You saw that with Pearce last night, or hear our trusted voice of WWE, ‘trusted’, Michael Cole, plant lies into our viewers’ heads.
“Nobody can stop me here, embarrassing CM Punk again. All I want is for people to see one simple thing, the truth. I’ve not lied once. Somebody show me where I’ve lied, and I’ll admit fault. I haven’t. I’ll give Punk his props. He’s a master of spinning the narrative to suit his own image, his own agenda. He should really consider politics after I end his career. The guy could literally sell ice to an Eskimo. He sells the marks BS, and they just lap it up every single time. The last two weeks, he’s avoided me. Last night, as I literally left the arena, what a coincidence, he drove right in. Of course he’s got stooges on the inside. Of course, it was part of the plan. Then he heads to the ring, acts the tough guy, calls me a coward. It’s clear to anyone with any sense the coward was standing right there in that ring. I pulled over because my phone was blowing up.”
Drew McIntyre: CM Punk Knows He’s Done For
Drew McIntyre went on to highlight how Punk had been avoiding him. He stated that he would cave Punk’s head in. McIntyre noted that Punk knew that he was done for, so he was trying to milk the situation.
“By the time I got back to the arena, shocker. He left,” Drew McIntyre said. “The week before, he picks a skybox. He’s up there, making fun, calling me out. So I go to find him. Where is he when I get there? He’s in the ring. He’s the one doing the running. He knows when he comes face to face, that’s it. The end.
“No more mouth-running. No more, ‘I’m gonna punch his face in’ or whatever threat he said. I’m gonna cave his actual head in. Look at me. Look at my track record. He’s done for, and he knows it. He’s maximizing his time, he’s getting what he can out of this before Drew McIntyre exposes him. I’d run from me too.”
Drew McIntyre’s Warning
Drew McIntyre then highlighted Punk’s lack of meaningful action since his return. He then responded to Punk teasing that he would show up at WWE Clash at the Castle with a warning.
“Punk, you’re a hypocrite. You say all I do is live on social media,” Drew McIntyre said. “You spent the whole week pretending to be locked in WWE headquarters, and you posted it to your Instagram. You made these comments on TV. Only the nerdiest of basement-dwellers would ever actually understand. Let’s break down what you’ve actually done since you’ve done since you’ve done this place up, and break down is the operative word here.
“You’ve had exactly one televised fight. You lost, you got injured, by me. You hung around at TV, headquarters and TV like a bad smell. Go home to Larry. You’re playing a game of hide and seek that you think you’re winning. But you’re not. One last thing. I heard what you said. If you actually turn up to Glasgow, you’re not gonna leave in one piece. It won’t necessarily be my doing, mate. That’d fair warning.”
