CM Punk defeated Drew McIntyre in a Strap Match this past Saturday at WWE Bash In Berlin 2024.
Punk and McIntyre are currently 1-1, with The Scottish Psychopath beating the Second City Saint at WWE SummerSlam 2024.
On the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer reported that WWE believed Punk required a big win at Bash In Berlin 2024, given that he has not secured a pay-per-view victory since his return in November 2023. He said,
“Punk made him tap out. He gave him four GTSs. He touched all four corners without the other guy touching the corner behind him. They did tease that earlier in the match. The mentality is Punk had not had a big win. He had been in the company since November, and they just felt he needed a massive win because he’s a massive star. They felt that Drew can handle it, and Drew was going to get his heat back two days later.”
Meanwhile, McIntyre declared he isn’t done with Punk yet, and that their feud will end with the loser quitting WWE.
