Punk frequently meddled in McIntyres matches, costing him the world title on multiple occasions. The tension between them escalated, leading to a heated showdown at WWE SummerSlam, followed by another big match at Bash in Berlin.
Following the conclusion of the September 20 episode of SmackDown, Drew McIntyre squared off against Jey Uso in singles competition. During the course of the match, McIntyre threw shade at CM Punk as he hit the GTS on Jey Uso and bragged to the crowd after the move.
Drew McIntyre would then fake a leg injury to try to gain the upper hand from Jey Uso but it wasnt any use as Jey Uso ultimately defeated The Scottish Warrior, much to McIntyres dismay.
Drew McIntyre and CM Punk will face each other in a Hell in a Cell match at the WWE Bad Blood event next month. Their rivalry has been getting more intense, so fans expect this third match to be very violent. Well have to wait and see who wins in the end.
