After an explosive Day 1 Edition of WWE RAW, fans got a surprise hot promo starting the second episode of 2024. Drew McIntyre and CM Punk started the episode with a war of words that hyped the fans up for the Royal Rumble PLE. While both men exuded confidence while making their statements, McIntyre continued his attack off-court. The Scotsman mocked Punk online on social media.

The promo is still being talked about after the show and the image of Punk and McIntyre staring each other down is something that fans have been waiting for. With McIntyre putting on incredible matches, fans want to see ‘The Best in the World’ take on the Scotsman.

During the heated back-and-forth between the two, there were many things said. McIntyre called Punk a demon and himself a leader. At the same time, Punk called McIntyre a kid and himself Satan. The promo was white hot and got the audience invested in their feud, which may see a conclusion at the Royal Rumble.

However, even after the promo war subsided, McIntyre had one last thing to say to Punk, which he did online. Posting a picture of himself mocking the former AEW star in the ring on RAW, McIntyre said, “Welcome back….kid.” This was to mock CM Punk who called McIntyre a kid for whining about losing the shot at becoming the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

McIntyre has made it clear time and time again that he wants his WWE World Heavyweight Championship back. Since Crown Jewel in 2023, he’s been after the title with no success. While Rollins was kind enough to give him multiple title shots, others may not be so kind as to step aside. Punk also wants the title and as he made it clear since his return there is nothing that is going to stop him from achieving his dreams.
