At WrestleMania 40, the WWE Universe witnessed a seismic shift in the ongoing saga between two titans of the ring: CM Punk and Drew McIntyre. What began as a simmering rivalry escalated into an explosive confrontation, as CM Punk orchestrated a meticulously planned retaliation against McIntyre, leaving fans on the edge of their seats.
The animosity between Punk and McIntyre had been brewing for months, reaching a boiling point at WWE Royal Rumble when McIntyre’s vicious attack sidelined Punk with a torn tricep.

As tensions reached a fever pitch, all eyes were on WrestleMania 40 to see how the story would unfold.
In a move that sent shockwaves throughout the WWE Universe, CM Punk seized the opportunity for revenge at WrestleMania 40 by ambushing McIntyre during his match. With calculated precision, Punk’s interference paved the way for Damian Priest to cash in his Money in the Bank contract, dethroning McIntyre as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. It was a stunning turn of events that showcased Punk’s strategic cunning and unwavering determination to settle the score with McIntyre.
Following his decisive actions at WrestleMania, CM Punk wasted no time in making his intentions clear.

“I wanted to make Drew interesting,” Punk declared. “What’s important isn’t on the internet. What’s important is inside the building. Those people, after his two matches. Yes, he had two. He won one. He lost the more important one. They were chanting ‘CM Punk.’ Drew McIntyre prayed for me to be injured… I don’t pray for things to happen. I make them happen.”
Punk’s unapologetic demeanor and ruthless determination underscored the personal vendetta driving his actions, setting the stage for an epic showdown between him and McIntyre in the coming weeks.
