Drew McIntyre put CM Punk on the shelf at the 2024 WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view event, causing Punk to suffer a torn triceps. At WrestleMania 40 (Night Two), Drew McIntyre won the World Heavyweight Title from Seth Rollins.
Following the match, McIntyre got in Punk’s face, leading to Punk attacking him. Damian Priest cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase, leading to him winning the WWE World Title.
Punk shared a meme on Instagram, which McIntyre himself had been using, adding further insult to injury.
