Former WWE World Champion CM Punk is set to face Drew McIntyre in a highly anticipated match at WWE SummerSlam. The animosity between Punk and McIntyre has been simmering for months, with both superstars engaging in a bitter feud marked by constant attacks and interference.
Punk has been a problem for McIntyre, consistently sabotaging the Scotsman’s title pursuits. Moreover, his actions have led to McIntyre suffering multiple career setbacks, including quitting WWE, attacking backstage officials, and serving suspensions. However, McIntyre has refused to back down, relentlessly retaliating against Punk in the ring and on social media.
A few weeks ago, CM Punk announced his official medical clearance to return to the ring. Given the constant chaos and disruptions caused by both superstars, this led to his highly anticipated match against Drew McIntyre at WWE SummerSlam becoming official.
On the other hand, WWE Raw General Manager Adam Pearce decided to add a twist to the match. To ensure order and prevent further interference, Pearce appointed Seth Rollins as the special guest referee for the SummerSlam showdown.
The months-long feud between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre has entertained fans. While many expected this rivalry to continue beyond this Saturday, CM Punk recently dropped a bombshell on ESPN’s First Take. Instead of fueling speculation about a prolonged feud, he hinted at a potential end to the feud.
