The rivalry between Drew McIntyre and CM Punk has been one of WWE’s hottest over the year. The two of them have maintained tensions since The Best in the World’s return to the company. Starring in multiple segments despite not having seen each other in a head-to-head match due to their injuries and it seems like this rivalry has turned McIntyre into one of the biggest trolls. So much so that no one is safe from his verbal jibes. The Scotsman just took a shot, but it wasn’t Punk on the receiving end. Instead, it was the Bloodline member, Tama Tonga.

The Scottish Warrior compares Tama Tonga to the Gremlins

The latest edition of SmackDown saw the quarterfinals of the King and Queen of the Rings Tournament. In a backstage segment on the show, Tama Tonga was hyping himself up for his match against LA Knight. And in order to do so, he was making some rather interesting sounds. This led Drew McIntyre to tweet, “I thought we all agreed not to feed Tama after 8 p.m.”. Through it, he compared the Bloodline member to the Mogwais and Gremlins from the Gremlins franchise. That’s because if you feed the Mogwais after midnight, they turn into Gremlins.

Drew McIntyre surely knows how to roast fellow wrestlers. But for now, he should be setting his sights on his next opponent. Making an enemy in Punk already cost him his title once, so making more enemies would only lead him further away from the World Heavyweight Championship. And he surely would not want that.
