The intense rivalry between former WWE Champion CM Punk and Drew McIntyre reached a boiling point at WWE WrestleMania XL. After winning the World Heavyweight Championship, McIntyre provoked Punk, who retaliated with an aggressive attack. This led to Damian Priest cashing in his Money in the Bank contract to claim the title. During the chaos, Punk blew a kiss to McIntyre’s wife, escalating the tension.
During a recent appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, McIntyre stirred controversy by stating that he would pursue AJ Lee, a former Divas Champion if he were not already married, directly challenging Punk’s relationship.
On a different note, WWE commentator Corey Graves disclosed that he has resolved his differences with CM Punk after a heart-to-heart conversation earlier this year. Punk, who made a comeback to professional wrestling in 2021 with AEW, faced setbacks and was eventually released after an altercation at All In 2023. His return to WWE sparked a new feud with McIntyre on RAW.
Graves, in an exclusive interview with wrestling journalist Bill Apter on Wrestling, revealed that he and Punk reconciled at the Royal Rumble 2024. He expressed relief that their past issues are now resolved, emphasizing a positive interaction during the event.
Both CM Punk and Drew McIntyre were recently drafted to RAW, setting the stage for a potential showdown between the two wrestling icons in the future. As the WWE universe eagerly anticipates their clash, the drama and tension between the stars continue to charm fans worldwide.
