The anticipated one-on-one face-off between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre is set for this weekend at WWE SummerSlam 2024. Seth Rollins will step in as the unique guest referee.
In an engaging interview with ESPN, Punk opened up about his rivalry with McIntyre and his future plans post SummerSlam 2024.
Here are some standout snippets from the interview:
On his disinterest of being seen as a leader: “I never posed as one [laughs]. I’m just dedicated to my work. I’m here just to wrestle. People seem to have strong views about me, I’m not sure why I stir such strong reactions.”
Regdaring his rivalry with McIntyre: “After Saturday, I am done with Drew. I will move past him and set my sights on more prominent challenges. My return to WWE is about me and the fans. Drew injured me and boasted about it. He needs a lesson and I will provide it on Saturday. The idea of dealing with him on live TV excites me.”
On his forthcoming challenges post McIntyre: “I honestly don’t know. The talent pool in WWE right now is impressive. There are people I’ve shared stories with and those that I haven’t stepped into the ring with. I look forward to revisiting these and exploring new ones.”
