When CM Punk returns from injury, it’s inevitable that he’ll be feuding with Drew McIntyre.
Speaking on a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Tommy Dreamer expressed his belief that the eventual match between the two men doesn’t need to have a World Title on the line.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the feud not needing a title: “Drew McIntyre-CM Punk doesn’t need to be for the World Title. And it will [still] have that much interest…If you have Rock and Roman, it doesn’t have to be for the title, and it’s as interesting…Damian Priest needs to establish himself as the man in WWE. We have Seth Rollins, we have Cody, we have The Rock, but now we have different people doing their own thing. And just like Cody needs to establish himself as the face of the brand, Damian Priest needs to do the same.”
On the value of keeping a title out of the feud: “CM Punk and Drew McIntyre will, should, and could, main event any PPV right now, once CM Punk is ready. And they don’t need the World Title involved in that, which always helps with finishes and all the stuff like that. Cause there could come a moment where CM Punk says ‘Now I want the World Title.’ And everyone’s going to get behind it. We’ll see. But yes, you don’t need the World Title. Not every single story needs to involve a World Title.”
The highly anticipated return of CM Punk from injury has sparked speculation about potential feuds and matches for the former WWE superstar. One name that keeps coming up is Drew McIntyre, and according to Tommy Dreamer, a World Title doesn’t need to be on the line for their match to generate interest.
In a recent episode of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Dreamer shared his thoughts on the potential feud between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre. He expressed his belief that the match between the two talented wrestlers would still be highly anticipated and exciting, even without a World Title at stake.
Dreamer compared this potential feud to other high-profile matches, such as The Rock vs. Roman Reigns, which didn’t involve a title but still garnered immense interest from fans. He also mentioned the importance of establishing new stars like Damian Priest as the face of WWE, separate from the World Title picture.
The value of keeping a title out of the feud between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre is also highlighted by Dreamer. He emphasized that their match could easily main event any pay-per-view event, showcasing their star power and drawing in fans. By not involving the World Title, it allows for more creative freedom in terms of match finishes and storytelling.
However, Dreamer did acknowledge that there might come a moment when CM Punk decides he wants a shot at the World Title. In that case, the fans would undoubtedly rally behind him, adding another layer of excitement to the storyline. But he stressed that not every story needs to revolve around the World Title, and there is room for compelling feuds that focus on other aspects of wrestling.
The potential feud between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre has already generated significant buzz among wrestling fans. Both wrestlers have proven themselves in the ring and have a dedicated fan base. Whether or not a World Title is involved, their match promises to be a must-see event.
As CM Punk continues his recovery from injury, fans eagerly await his return to the ring. The possibilities for his feuds and matches are endless, but the prospect of a showdown with Drew McIntyre is particularly intriguing. With or without a World Title at stake, this match has the potential to be a show-stealer and a highlight of any wrestling event.
