On this week’s episode of RAW, WWE ran a promo segment between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre.
After the brief verbal back-and-forth, The Scottish Psychopath assaulted the Second City Saint before Sami Zayn made the save.
On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Tommy Dreamer praised McIntyre’s promo in which he said that he prayed for Punk’s injury.
Dreamer said, “Man, it was so heavy and people were just like ‘You son of a b***h.’ It was masterful. It was such a great delivered promo and it results in physicality. He was the Champion with no fans, and I’d love to see more of this out of Drew. Here’s a guy where speaking wasn’t the best for him and now, he’s carrying promo segments with CM Punk.”
AEW wrestler Thunder Rosa noted, “This is some real s**t. Praying for somebody that you f**king hate for them to get hurt so you don’t got to see their face? It’s the real thing. This is some real s**t that happens. It’s so real, both of these promos were so real and close to reality.”
Punk suffered a torn triceps injury during last Saturday’s 2024 WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view event. He will be out of action for four to six months and is expected to return by September.
