Drew McIntyre and CM Punk’s Rivalry Heats Up Ahead of Strap Match at Bash in Berlin

Drew McIntyre and CM Punk are engaged in a fierce rivalry in WWE, set to culminate in a Strap Match at Bash in Berlin. Their feud intensified after Punk used McIntyre’s own belt against him on “WWE Raw.” At SummerSlam, McIntyre emerged victorious in their first in-ring encounter following Punk’s injury, retaining a bracelet that has become a point of contention between them.

In a recent interview, McIntyre praised Punk’s resilience and stubbornness, admitting he was surprised by Punk’s endurance and the impact of his punches. Despite months of social media taunting, McIntyre acknowledged Punk as one of the best wrestlers he’s faced in the past decade.

McIntyre expressed a mix of respect and animosity towards Punk, noting his opponent’s refusal to give up as both admirable and frustrating. He likened Punk’s determination to “Christmas,” suggesting he relishes the challenge of facing such a tenacious adversary.
