In the midst of chaotic scenes, CM Punk caused a stir by taking out security. As the rivalry between Punk and Drew McIntyre intensified just days before their upcoming Strap Match at Bash In Berlin, WWE Raw's general manager, Adam Pearce, decided to take action against the rebellious Punk.
This Saturday, the two bitter rivals will have a rematch at SummerSlam, with the added twist of being tied together by a leather strap. This ensures that neither of them can escape the brutality of their match. However, during this week's episode of Monday Night Raw, Punk couldn't wait for the official match and instead, ambushed McIntyre in the ring, attacking him with the strap that would bind them together during their upcoming clash.
As security rushed out to separate the two, Punk's rebellious spirit couldn't be contained. He turned on the guards, using the very same strap to whip them in retaliation for getting involved. The fans cheered him on, but general manager Pearce wasn't impressed. He took to social media to announce that he has fined Punk for his actions, adding a new twist to the storyline.
In the ring, McIntyre was calling Punk a coward before the sneak attack. But before that, Punk had been hiding under the ring and live streaming his reactions to McIntyre's strong words on Instagram. He accused the fans of enabling his opponent and claimed that Punk was only attacking from behind because he was afraid of facing McIntyre head on.
Their upcoming match at Bash In Berlin is not just a regular match, but a Strap Match. For those unfamiliar with this type of match, it involves both superstars being connected at the wrist by a leather strap. There are no disqualifications or count outs, and the only way to win is by touching all four corners of the ring consecutively before your opponent.
This rivalry between Punk and McIntyre goes way back to 2011 and has blurred the lines between reality and fiction. In a recent interview, McIntyre spoke about working with someone he has genuine bad blood with, saying that it's a testament to their professionalism and talent. He added that their animosity towards each other only adds to the intensity of their rivalry.
With their real-life issues being a hot topic among fans, McIntyre hasn't ruled out the possibility of addressing them in the future. He admitted that there is truth to their animosity and that if the right environment or opportunity presents itself, he wouldn't shy away from pulling back the curtain and revealing the real story behind their rivalry.
For fans eagerly anticipating Bash In Berlin, it's important to note that the event will air live on Saturday, August 31st at 8PM BST on the WWE Network. And for those who can't get enough of the intense rivalry between Punk and McIntyre, don't forget to tune in to WWE Raw on Monday nights at 1AM on TNT Sports 1.
