Drew McIntyre held nothing back on this week's episode of Monday Night Raw when it came to mocking CM Punk in the latest escalation of the feud between the two. 

Punk is currently out injured after suffering a torn triceps in the Men's Royal Rumble match, an injury that McIntyre has been more than happy to take credit for. The Best in the World was originally planned to challenge World Heavyweight Champion Seth 'Freakin' Rollins at WrestleMania 40 but those plans have since been scrapped. In his place, McIntyre will challenge Rollins in April after winning last weekend's Men's Elimination Chamber Match.

Drew McIntyre on CM Punk

Appearing on this week's Raw, McIntyre was in an unsurprisingly jovial mood in San Jose, CA. McIntyre's latest barrage against Punk began before a word was said, with Drew sitting down in mimicry of the former WWE and AEW World Champion. 

From there, McIntyre would mock Punk's injury which has cost the latter his dream of headlining WrestleMania. McIntyre recalled a backstage conversation after being banged up in the Men's Elimination Chamber match. 

"The doctor looked at me and said 'Drew, you're hurt, there's a chance you don't make WrestleMania.' I said 'Who do you think I am, CM Punk? Nothing's going to stop me from making WrestleMania!'"

With another dig at the Best in the World, McIntyre said he knows Punk is straight edge, so he decided to drink enough for the both of them to celebrate his win at WWE Elimination Chamber 2024. 

What Came Next? 

Seth Rollins would then confront McIntyre and the pair would share words about their upcoming World Heavyweight Championship match. McIntyre seemed open to the concept of The Bloodline interfering in the match to help him in a shocking move considering that Bloodline interference cost him the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at Clash at the Castle.
