WWE continues to move forward with its Road to WrestleMania, and proof of this was the celebration of the PLE, Elimination Chamber. At the PLE, we finally got the name of Seth Rollins’ challenger at WrestleMania 40 for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

Drew McIntyre emerged victorious in the grueling match and he emerged as the challenger for Rollins as he aims to fulfill his destiny. However, the win did not come without sacrifice. He revealed that he suffered an eardrum injury. Nevertheless, that didn’t dampen his mood as he again took a shot at CM Punk during the revelation. Here are the details of what transpired at RAW tonight.

Since CM Punk returned to WWE, many superstars opposed the return of the Chicago-based star. But one of the most intense confrontations he had was with Drew McIntyre. The Scottish Warrior seemed to have a special intention of seeing Punk fall. After the battle royale, it was revealed that the Chicago native had torn his triceps because of a move he performed on Drew McIntyre. The Scot boasted about having left Punk out of the game for several months. And now he has taken another shot at Punk. McIntyre said that while the doctors believe he should not fight at WrestleMania, no injury can stop him from fighting at the ‘Showcase of the Immortals’. He then takes a jibe at Punk for not fighting and being sidelined, unlike the Scottish Warrior. He says, “Who do you think I am? CM Punk?”

His victory at Elimination Chamber has put him in prime position to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XL. Now, it remains to be seen if this new stage for McIntyre will be enough for him to take the title at the biggest event of the year. But do you know even Rollins recently took a shot at Punk?
