CM Punk challenges Drew McIntyre to strap match at Bash in Berlin over personal bracelet

CM Punk and Drew McIntyre had a heated confrontation on WWE Raw, leading to Punk challenging McIntyre to a strap match at Bash in Berlin. The conflict centers around a bracelet with the names of Punk’s wife and dog, which McIntyre possesses.

Tommy Dreamer, who knows Punk from their ECW days, praised the segment on “Busted Open Radio.” He highlighted the emotional depth of Punk’s character, noting that despite being wealthy and accomplished, Punk returned to wrestling because he loves it. Dreamer emphasized how Punk, portrayed as an outsider, is fighting for something personally meaningful – the bracelet.

Dreamer was impressed by the authentic storytelling, calling it a prime example of great entertainment in wrestling. He explained that top performers listen to their audience, opponents, and the crowd while telling a real-life story within a wrestling angle.

The rivalry between Punk and McIntyre will continue at Bash in Berlin on August 31, where they’ll face off in a strap match.
