Following this,Punk announced that he would miss the June 17th edition of Monday Night RAWto undergo a medical examination to get cleared.
According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, although a CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre match doesnt necessarily require a title belt, it would be significantly enhanced by having one involved. However, when Triple H decreed that the King of the Ring winner would earn a title shot at SummerSlam, the booking direction became clear. Currently, the plan is for McIntyre to face Punk at SummerSlam, contingent on Punks condition.
