Drew McIntyre and CM Punk are set to bring their intense nine-month feud to a head inside the Hell in a Cell at WWE Bad Blood 2024. The two stars have been at each other’s throats for months, and their rivalry has only gotten more heated as the event approaches. Recently, a photo surfaced online showing McIntyre and Punk together at ringside before an episode of Monday Night Raw, which quickly went viral.
The image sparked widespread speculation on social media, with fans questioning whether the two really disliked each other as much as their on-screen feud suggests. McIntyre was quick to address these rumors during a recent interview with Fox News, where he explained that despite having to occasionally work near each other, their animosity is very real.
“But you can feel the tension when we’re around. And I remember there was some picture that came out online recently, and it was the big talk of the internet because (CM) Punk and I were close to each other during the day and it was, ‘Oh my God, they really don’t dislike each other.’ I was like, yeah, you frickin’ idiots. You don’t go to your office job and have to stand beside the guy you don’t like in your office occasionally just because someone snapped a picture of that moment because we’re dealing with a situation you have to deal with in your profession even if you can’t stand the p—k.”
Despite being seen together, McIntyre emphasized that the tension between them is palpable, and their feud is far from over. This animosity will come to a climax at WWE Bad Blood, where McIntyre and Punk are poised to kick off the event in one of the most brutal matches in wrestling: Hell in a Cell. According to earlier reports, their Hell in a Cell match will open the show, setting the stage for a night of intense action.
The match between McIntyre and Punk will be followed by other big bouts, including the tag team main event featuring Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns taking on The Bloodline’s Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu.
As WWE Bad Blood 2024 draws near, fans are eager to see if McIntyre and Punk’s intense rivalry will be settled once and for all inside the unforgiving Hell in a Cell structure.
