At the WWE Bad Blood event in 2024, Drew McIntyre sustained a serious head wound after being hit by a toolbox wielded by opponent, CM Punk. The gash was severe enough that it required suturing with sixteen stitches.
The Wrestling Examiner Chronicles reveals unusual information; only CM Punk was intended to experience bloodshed during their bout. The dramatic unfolding of events, which included heavy bleeding from McIntyre’s injury, led to a tense atmosphere amongst WWE personnel both behind the scenes and at ringside.
Despite the grave situation, there were considerations to curb the bleeding swiftly, but no action was taken due to the nature of the Hell In A Cell match.
McIntyre took it upon himself to soldier on with the match, vowing that he would call it quits at the merest hint of feeling unwell.
Despite the significant injury, McIntyre did not exhibit any concussion symptoms and maintained an admirable level of consciousness. He remained, as reported, “very aware” and “in control” for the entirety of the match.
