July 7th 2024.
It was a dramatic turn of events for Drew McIntyre and CM Punk at Money In The Bank. McIntyre had just cashed in his MITB briefcase during Damian Priest's World Heavyweight Title defense against Seth Rollins, and it seemed he was about to win back the championship. However, Punk appeared from under the ring and launched a surprise attack, costing McIntyre the title for the third time this year. This led to a confrontation between McIntyre and Adam Pearce, the Raw General Manager, after the event.
WWE has now revealed that both McIntyre and Punk have been punished for their actions. McIntyre has been fined and suspended indefinitely, while Punk has also received a financial penalty. The situation escalated even further on the Money In The Bank Post Show, as John Cena announced his retirement and Punk interrupted the show to rant about what had happened earlier.
Pearce, in a video released to hype up tomorrow night's episode of Raw, addressed the incident and called it "the elephant in the room". He announced that both McIntyre and Punk have been fined for their actions, and due to McIntyre's physical altercation with Pearce, he has been suspended indefinitely.
McIntyre had already been through a grueling match earlier in the night, winning the Money In The Bank ladder match. He then cashed in his briefcase an hour later, making his attack from Punk even more devastating. Pearce also teased that there is more to come on tomorrow night's broadcast.
This twist in the storyline comes after McIntyre, in character, announced that he was quitting WWE following Punk's interference in his hometown match at Clash At The Castle in Glasgow. Now, it seems that the two stars are on a collision course, with fans speculating that they will face off at SummerSlam in Cleveland, Ohio.
However, the events at Money In The Bank added a new dimension to the situation. Punk's actions helped Priest retain his title, which also meant that Rollins lost and cannot challenge for the World Heavyweight Title as long as Priest holds it. This adds another layer to the potential feud between McIntyre, Punk, and Priest, with a possible triple threat match at SummerSlam.
WWE Raw airs every Monday night at 1am on TNT Sports 1. Pearce also hinted that there might be more to come on tomorrow night's episode, so fans can expect some exciting developments.
