CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, and Seth Rollins delivered an intense promo segment on the March 25 episode of WWE Raw, capturing fans attention. McIntyre has now revealed a comeback he thought of but never used against Punk during the segment.
As McIntyre boasted about being The Chosen One, Punk fired back, questioning who had given him that title. The crowd quickly understood that Punk was referring to Vince McMahon, who originally called McIntyre The Chosen One in 2009. Since McMahons resignation in early 2024, his name has not been mentioned on WWE television, leaving McIntyre briefly speechless.
While speaking to Inside the Ropes, revealed that he had a response ready but chose not to say it. He had planned to remind Punk that Vince McMahon fired him on his wedding day but decided to stay professional.
Looking back, McIntyre felt the segment showed he could hold his own against anyone in a verbal battle, even Punk. He knew his past work outside WWE proved he could deliver great promos when given the freedom. That night, he and Punk went back and forth with real energy and tension.
In the end, McIntyre decided to stay quiet and let Punk have the last word. He felt it was the right move for WWE and wanted to keep things professional, even though he believed he was the real good guy in the situation.
Drew McIntyre will becompeting in the Elimination Chambermatch against John Cena, CM Punk, Damian Priest, Seth Rollins and Logan Paul. The odds are stacked against him but McIntyre will try to win at any cost, so it remains to be seen if he will be successful in the end.
Would you have wanted to hear McIntyre drop the wedding day line live on Raw? Or did he make the right call?
