CM Punk and Drew McIntyre have been butting heads ever since the Best in the World returned to WWE. Their war of words has been receiving a lot of praise from fans and critics alike.
During an interview with DailyMail, McIntyre shared his honest thoughts about CM Punk. McIntyre wanted to thank CM Punk for the promo battle they had with Seth Rollins on the March 25 episode of WWE RAW .
“I have to thank him [Punk] for that I guess. One thing I can thank him for,” McIntyre explained.
“If he’s got that microphone you know he’s bringing his A-game,” he continued. “And perhaps the first time we were in the ring together he was still finding his feet being back in WWE. I think he realised – I know he realised, I could see it in his eyes – this isn’t the same Drew and I had his number the first time we were in the ring together, and I stomped his stupid little arm.”
Drew McIntyre is thankful for the opportunity to be part of a ‘Legendary’ segment
During the same interview, the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion shared that he could see the same passion CM Punk had during his initial run with WWE.
“The second time, I could see it in his eyes, ‘Right, I’m back, I’ve got all my guns loaded,’ and this is the CM Punk of old. And I knew I could either step up to his level or I can drown and I don’t belong at his level. So it was cool to have that opportunity to go back and forth and have people go, ‘Oh my god, this is insane.’
“When you thought it couldn’t get anymore insane it kept escalating and escalating. You have to be quick on your feet and you have to know exactly who you are in this industry if you’re going to compete at the top level. So I can say thank you to him for showing in that segment everybody that said well, Drew just went to-to-toe with Punk in his prime, on fire. And Seth also added to that segment in what has become something of a legendary segment. It’s all people talk to me about recently,” Drew McIntyre said.
