Drew McIntyre recently reflected on his interactions with CM Punk, offering a candid take on their dynamic both on-screen and off. Speaking openly to Alex McCarthy for the Daily Mail, McIntyre acknowledged his no-holds-barred approach toward Punk during their feud, emphasizing how Punk stood out by handling the pressure without faltering.
“I went completely gangbusters for him,” McIntyre explained, recounting his aggressive tactics, particularly on social media. He clarified that, while he can be limited in what he says on TV, his personal social platforms give him freedom to be unfiltered. Despite his relentless approach, McIntyre admitted Punk remained unfazed:
“I went at him and went at him. And I’ve done that with a couple of people, and they have got a boo boo face. Not that I care, but he didn’t. He ate it like a man and then came back with what he had to say. So I’ll give him that.”
McIntyre also mentioned that WWE did not intervene to tone down his rhetoric, further demonstrating the intensity of their storyline. “The company could have asked me to pull back if they wanted me to, and I’d have said, ‘No, it’s my social.’”
Although McIntyre’s comments hint at mixed feelings toward Punk, he seemed to appreciate Punk’s resilience and ability to engage in the back-and-forth exchange. His remarks offer insight into the complexities of their professional relationship and highlight the impact of their feud.
