WWE superstar Drew McIntyre recently shook the internet with his photo with AEW star Jack Perry amidst the CM Punk incident. The rivalry between Drew McIntyre and CM Punk has turned personal in the past few months.
CM Punk cost McIntyre the world title at WrestleMania 40 and continued to sabotage his career. He, as the referee, denied McIntyre from winning the title again at Clash at the Castle in Scotland. In June, McIntyre later qualified for Money in the Bank, won the briefcase, and cashed in on the main event. However, Punk interfered again, attacking McIntyre and preventing him from winning the championship.
CM Punk has been a constant thorn in Drew McIntyre’s side, sabotaging his title opportunities. However, the Scottish Warrior hasn’t shied away from retaliating. McIntyre has repeatedly taken shots at Punk, capitalizing on his injuries, taking his WrestleMania spot, and merchandise trolling.
Furthermore, recently, Drew McIntyre escalated his feud with CM Punk to a new level by posting a photo with AEW star Jack Perry, captioned “Cry us a river.” This direct jab referenced the infamous backstage altercation between Punk and Perry at AEW All In 2023.
Last year, CM Punk was involved in a backstage altercation with Jack Perry during his time in AEW. The incident erupted after Perry’s match with HOOK, where Perry’s on-screen taunt, “Real glass, cry me a river,” directly provoked Punk into a confrontation backstage. This led to Perry being suspended and Punk being fired from the promotion. Punk made his return to WWE a few months later.
Drew McIntyre’s choice to incorporate the real-life AEW backstage fight with Jack Perry into his WWE feud has sparked speculation about potential backstage heat. Reports are now emerging, shedding light on whether McIntyre’s photo has led to backstage tension.
