Drew McIntyre Admits WWE Clash at the Castle 2024 Loss Was the Right Call

Drew McIntyre became one of the biggest stars in all of WWE thanks to his incredible feud with CM Punk that has been going on since January this year. A critical moment in the feud saw Punk costing him a title match at Clash at the Castle and McIntyre now admits it was the right call.

During the main event match between Damian Priest and Drew McIntyre at the Clash at The Castle Premium Live Event. Fans in the UK were excited for a possible McIntyre victory, especially after previous disappointments in Cardiff and WrestleMania. However, CM Punk spoiled the celebration by delivering a low blow to McIntyre and costing McIntyre the match, sending fans home disappointed.

While speaking to Chris Van Vliet, Drew McIntyre was asked if him losing the match was the right call and if he questioned the decision. McIntyre admitted that the defeat was particularly hard to swallow. He acknowledged that while it was a tough moment, he understands the importance of storytelling in WWE and how certain moments are meant to be memorable and it was the right move.

McIntyre noted that despite the setback, the dramatic ending, where Punk’s interference and low blow became a significant part of the story, would be remembered for a long time. He also pointed out that the low blow Punk delivered was in the same corner and in the same manner as the one McIntyre gave him at SummerSlam, emphasizing the symmetry in their rivalry.

“That was a tough one. Really, really tough one. The same time, if I win, then I’m right. Sometimes it’s okay to be right. Yeah, that one really stung.

“Yeah[It was the right call], there’s always that moment and in the environment we’re in now, it’s story above all else. I didn’t feel that way in the past. I was like, if we don’t do this now, things could change in a couple of weeks. It’s a lot of pivoting left and right, and characters and stories changing consistently. Now I know we will stick to the story. It hurt, but I see what we are now, and I’m like, Okay, if I won that night, then I’m just, yeah, I did it. I’m right, go screw yourselves.

Because of what happened and much as I can’t stand him, that moment was something that would be replayed forever, just the big near fall at the end, everybody in my freaking home country going insane. One two, and it’s that piece of sh*t counting the fall and cost me the match with the low blow. And at the same time, it’s SummerSlam. If you noticed, the way I gave him the low blow was exact same corner, exact same way he did it to me. So he can’t say one word about how things happened at SummerSlam.”

Drew McIntyre lost to CM Punk at the WWE Bash in Berlin Premium Live Event but it’s more than evident they will do battle against at Bad in Blood, so we’ll have to see if McIntyre will ever get another shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the future.
