In a surprising turn of events, CM Punk cost Drew McIntyre the World Heavyweight Championship at WWE Clash at the Castle: Scotland. Following the match, Punk sent a message to his long-time rival. The heated rivalry between Punk and McIntyre has been ongoing for several months, with tensions escalating after McIntyre injured Punk during the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble Match.
At WrestleMania XL, Punk cost McIntyre the World Heavyweight Championship, enabling Damian Priest to win the title after cashing in his Money in the Bank contract. Once again, Punk interfered in McIntyre’s match, hitting him with a low blow and costing the Scottish Warrior the opportunity to become a two-time World Heavyweight Champion.
Punk shared his thoughts on Instagram, commenting on a WWE post about McIntyre’s reception from the WWE Universe in his native country. He acknowledged that McIntyre deserved the overwhelming support, writing, “He deserves it.”

Wade Barrett, a WWE commentator, has called for Punk’s termination following his actions at Clash at the Castle: Scotland. Barrett believes Punk should be fired due to his interference in the championship match, as Punk is not medically cleared to have contact with any wrestler. Barrett insists that WWE management should take action and restore some honor and integrity to the industry.
Despite the controversy, Punk is anticipated to make his in-ring return soon. A match against McIntyre appears imminent and could take place at this year’s SummerSlam Premium Live Event. With the animosity between these two superstars at an all-time high, fans can expect an intense and thrilling encounter.
