CM Punk and Drew McIntyre were involved in an in-ring confrontation on this week’s episode of WWE RAW.
On this week’s show, McIntyre came out to cut a promo about his future in WWE and how he wasn’t happy with Damian Priest costing him a win on last week’s show. The Scottish Warrior went on to say that with Cody Rhodes and CM Punk back in WWE now, he was thinking about leaving for “nine years” and then returning for a hero’s welcome.
This led to CM Punk coming out to the ring, who told McIntyre that all he has done since Punk came back is talk. While CM Punk said he was a locker room leader, McIntyre said he was now Punk’s leader because he’s been back for far longer.
The segment came to an end when the two men nearly came to blows, but Punk said he would “lead by example” and leave before he knocked McIntyre’s “teeth down his throat.”
