CM Punk has had a difficult time with Drew McIntyre in 2024. He was wounded at the start of this year and has not returned to the ring yet. Although he has a broken hand, his injuries have not prevented him from wrecking Drew McIntyre’s life, as Punk has cost him the World Heavyweight Championship on several occasions.
This has been a lot of fun to watch for the WWE Universe, and it appears like something similar will happen in the next WWE Premium Live Event Clash at The Castle, which will be held in Scotland.
Drew McIntyre and Damien Priest will compete for the World Heavyweight Championship in this WWE Premium live event. This match can have several different endings, although sources suggest it may conclude quite similarly to all of McIntyre’s previous World championship fights.

SRS and Denise discussed how the match between McIntyre and Priest might conclude in a video on Fightful’s YouTube channel.

SRS stated, “They will have CM Punk interfere in that world title match, and it’s at -450 favorite yes and I am leaning that way, I don’t know if I am that confident but I am leaning that way.”
Denise replied, “I have been leaning that way for quite some time. I feel like that is definitely the direction they are going in. Even today what we talked about that match given what went down and now that the Judgement Day is banned from ringside, that didn’t mean CM Punk is banned from ringside.”

People have been keenly waiting for the match between Drew McIntyre and CM Punk, as it would be a dream match for many. They have been going back and forth since January 2024 following the Royal Rumble. But when can this match possibly take place? So far, the speculations suggest this match will not be held in a modest WWE PLE. It will be one of WWE’s four major events, with the Summerslam coming.
CM Punk has almost fully healed from his injuries now, and his return to the ring is not far off. He has cost McIntyre the World Championship so many times that the fans are keen for another showdown between the two. It is speculated that this match will take place at the Summerslam, but only time will tell.
