The 2024 edition of WWE SummerSlam featured a match that everyone had been waiting for. The long rivalry that began in January between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre finally culminated in a match. And in the end, it was Drew McIntyre who defeated CM Punk and stood tall in front of the Cleveland crowd. Seth Rollins served as the special referee of the fight and had a lot to do with the outcome.

The Visionary was always in the middle of disputes and had problems with both fighters, mostly with CM Punk. In the final moments, Seth Rollins donned the bracelet of CM Punk’s dog, Larry, an object that Drew McIntyre took out at one point. Punk reproached Rollins for this, and the two confronted each other.

CM Punk applied the GTS to Rollins. Then he got close to McIntyre but took a low blow instead. McIntyre then finished Punk with the Claymore to take the victory by the count of three. This surely was a high-intensity match; however, the ending surely left a lot to be desired.

Since the victory did not end up being a clean one. Something that disappointed several fans. Now, they would definitely want a rematch. Well, we finally have an update on that front. According to WRKD, a wrestling news and leaks media outlet, The Best in the World and The Scottish Warrior are booked to fight in a Hell in a Cell match in what would be the main event at WWE’s Bad Blood PLE in October from the  State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

Well, fans will surely be excited about the matchup. After all, this feud has been one of the hottest in 2024. With the recent attack by Bronson Reed on Rollins, it seems unlikely that The Visionary will be a part of the CM Punk feud for a while. Thus, fans can witness the two fight with no other superstars present around them. However, according to McIntyre, it’s all over.

Drew McIntyre spoke about the continuation of his rivalry with CM Punk

The rivalry between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre has been one of the hottest rivalries so far this year. Both wrestlers have been intercepting each other, although it has been the Second City Saint who has done the most damage recently. In Money in the Bank, Drew McIntyre won the Money in the Bank briefcase and tried to redeem it the same night. He did, but CM Punk intervened in his plans by attacking him and facilitating Damian Priest’s defense.

McIntyre then pulled off something that no one saw coming, as he took a photograph with Jack Perry and posted it on social media. For the unaware, CM Punk was fired from All Elite Wrestling for a backstage fight with Jack Perry himself. This surely is a heated rivalry, one where, for now, McIntyre stands tall. Following SummerSlam, McIntyre spoke about the state of his feud with Punk.

During the post-SummerSlam press conference, Drew McIntyre indicated that, after defeating CM Punk and taking AJ Lee and Larry’s bracelet, he believes that the rivalry between the two has come to an end. According to McIntyre, it has already been shown who is the real “best in the world.” But after tonight’s segment between the two, it seems like the rivalry is all but over. What do you think? Will the two square off at Bad Blood? Let us know in the comments.
