In a recent session of his podcast titled “Extreme Life”, TNA veteran Matt Hardy reflected upon the Hell In A Cell face-off between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre that took place at WWE Bad Blood 2024.
Check out some key moments from the podcast below:
His take on the Hell in a Cell Match between Drew McIntyre and CM Punk: “The match was a masterpiece of storytelling. The anticipation and drama were intense as both the superstars had built up this rivalry remarkably. Hell in a Cell was a crucial match and Punk’s promotion suggested it might be his last. Jeff and I closely resonate with this – moving forward with something similar.
“The match delivered perfectly. It was a vivid and brutal battle, where every blow, even with the toolbox, was carefully orchestrated. Of course, accidents happen in wrestling and Drew got hurt when he was accidentally hit hard with the toolbox. The match’s climax with the wrench and the Anaconda Vice was just thrilling. The twists and the builds up were brilliantly done, making the match not just an athletic event but a narrative spectacle of intense rivalries.”
On their intelligent match strategies: “The match was a smart display of wrestling. Despite Drew getting hardway opened, they avoided unnecessary risks and focused on the storytelling.
“A particular moment that hooked me was when Drew lifted Punk across the ring and drove him into the cage. The camera shot was brilliant as it left the audience to create their own imagination, then revealed Drew’s condition. The shot was brilliantly executed, showing how well the documentation team worked in sync with the match.”
