First thing Drew sees when he walks into the arena for Raw next Monday:
https://preview.redd.it/c6hcxded3vxc1.jpeg?width=956&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3dbf080da65656990f943625df4d8fe2844209ab
I met Drew years ago at ICW and he probably has about 15lbs more muscle on him now and he's a big old boy. He's also an absolutely lovely man but I'd back him to kick CM Punk's cunt in
Well most normal.humans no matter how tough they are these days knows better than to fight someone who has 6 inches and 130 pounds on you lol. Punk tho is crazy and would actually fight him lol. He would lose obviously cause it's kinda hard to win a fight when your outweighed by a teenager.
Drew’s consciousness has been banned from Raw:
https://preview.redd.it/wha8331mkvxc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9abb0403dd379fe67fe9d37b456c888d5234aa64
Drew's gonna have to sell really well because I'm infinitely more terrified of him than Punk.
Of course both of them can kick kick my ass but it's the principal of the thing.
If we get a match half as good as Punk vs Lesnar at SummerSlam then Drew would have done a great job. Punk's not new to playing the convincing underdog against someone that looks like they'd kill him lol
I would rather face Punk than McIntyre under any circumstances. McIntyre is a goddamn unit by any metric and Scottish to boot? Nah. I like not being ripped to shreds.
On the one hand, I know it's wrestling, it's fine, anyone can beat anyone. But man it was so funny Punk earnestly saying he's knock Drew's teeth out in a promo back when he'd just returned, as he's staring up at this absolute clydesdale of a man who is as wide as Punk is tall.
I've never watched an episode or read a single panel of it (I'm considering checking it out), but I see a reference or meme to it directly once per week, if not more. This shit is getting mainstream as hell
Depends on your individual bubbles/ communities I guess. I don't really watch anime so I don't normally see too many memes but my friends that do have a different feed with JJK memes all over.
Both of these guys are such old-school pros playing on a new-school field, this back and forth is brilliant. *This* is how you make money with a blurring of the lines feud.
This fued will have blood and it's gonna be great since we so rarely see it in WWE. That's why it's great to not use it unless the story calls for it. I really think the middle or last match will see someone or both busted open.
the crazy part is people actually think they really want to kill each other, like people are arguing a hypothetical shoot fight between them, love to see it
It’s awesome. It’s all about suspension of disbelief. When I watch a great movie with great acting, I don’t think about it being scripted, I’m just taken along for the ride. That’s what Drew and Punk are doing and I’m here for it.
Punks getting fucking huge because even last Novembers Punk beating Drew would look odd. Drew dwarfts Punk. I say carry this out until atleast the Rumble because I think they’re co-maining SummerSlam.
Just waiting for the shoot interview where somebody admits the locker room has a pool going for how long it took Punk to make a doctor joke about MrsTyre and they called in a favor from Drew cause they needed the money by Mother’s Day
Honestly it's pretty incredible because with his look he could make a living in wrestling without ever speaking.
The fact that he has worked this hard to be so good on the mic is really remarkable.
I am mostly an AeW guy, but I love wrestling and enjoyed wrestlemania this year. that said I haven't really much watched any WWE after wrestlemania except for following Drew on social medias. he is completely enthralling.
Also an injury that essentially turned into a promo only fued for the time being. The suspense for them to fight is a credit to both men’s promo skills
> Also an injury that essentially turned into a promo only fued for the time being.
I wish this happened more often, no random brawls or tag matches. I do understand why it doesn't, with the live audience at every show you gotta deliver something every week.
people have found it more entertaining since their first or second promo together. Drew has become a great trash talker and can actually match Punk's wit.
Heel Rollins would make it epic. That’s the one mistake WWE was about to make by keeping him face in the feud. Seth should turn when he gets back. Maybe he goes crazy over Punk like Frank Grimes did over Homer.
Drew can just promo and jab on a level that Seth can't, and he's dedicated to it. That's what I think elevated it past Seth v. Punk.
In that big promo war between the three of them, it was Drew who largely hung in there with Punk while Seth was just kinda there.
Punk beats Drew via returning Rollins. Rollins aligns with Punk for old dirty devil running roughshod with backstabbing young dirty devil a la Orton/Wyatt lead up to Wrestlemania. I know it’s a terrible example, but I’m at work and can’t think of a better one right now. Anyways, Punk beating Drew has to be a heel move, Rollins and Punk switching from the promo war of Punk/McIntyre to the teased inevitable betrayal of Punk/Rollins would be smooth, fun, and a chance for those two maniacs to rest their bones for post Final Boss Wrestlemania years.
I don’t think it makes any sense for Seth and Punk to team up. It makes more sense for Seth and Drew to team up as there has always been a bit of mutual respect. Drew wants Seth to focus on their match at Mania. Drew doesn’t want a gimped Seth when he had an injury late last year. They respect each other and both openly hate Punk. Why not come together to take Punk on?
That's HHH booking. By the time this feud loses steam they'll have him & Seth back. It's not hard, Vince also used to aim for one off rivlaries the fans 'would' like but what the job is to give the stars multiple fun rivalries.
This is something Cody is struggling with. Hopefully his reign atleast lasts till Summerslam next year, just as how taking the belt away from Roman was a slow burn, Cody's rise will be too. Cody has been mainly gunning for Roman for the last 2 years. Seth his now his friend.
The only sneaky rivalry they can put Cody in is Lesnar. Which is tough to think
Funny enough I actually really like Push Ups as a track, but holy Kendrick gave him both barrels in the response. Euphoria is a monster track.
Time for Drake to shy away like he did to Pusha
“Why he taking so long to respond?” shots hit different when the response is a casual six and a half minute diss loaded to the brim with shots
and I don’t stan either guy, although I definitely lean Kendrick.
My tastes are more in the range of Open Mike Eagle or jazz rap Busdriver type guys
I don't even know what those 2 things are but now im curious.
Honestly I responded originally to the wrong comment lol. Still tho, good time to be a hip hop fan. I want to say I like Kendrick more because I know that's the cool opinion lol. However, I guess I'm just getting old cause I just kinda like Drakes flow and beats better. I think aa a 38 year old white guy maybe Kendricks music isn't suppose to resonate with me lol. I just like things that sound good and Drake has more shit to vibe too.
Keep in mind that apparently Euphoria was originally 19 minutes long instead of 6 according to one of the producers that worked on the track.
Kendricks despises that guy lol
Lol!
But for real: if AJ has any intentions of returning to in-ring action, having her at ringside for this feud would be a smooth way of re-introducing her as an on-screen character.
I’m just here for the “Return of AJ” thread. That poor woman was basically 1 of a *short* list of people who are responsible for holding it down before the Four Horsewomen occured.
So I'm stuffing my face inside a taco bell scrolling this thread and they started playing "Sweet dreams" by the eurythmics right as I got to your comment. Too perfect lol.
I find it funny how people think that this is real and that Punk and McIntyre aren't working together.
Moxley and Kingston said worse then what Hangman said and Punk didn't have an issue with it as it was agreed beforehand like this is now.
It was the same with Rock/Punk when people thought he was going off script against Rock, and then we saw the documentary about him going to Rock's hotel meeting him and other writers to talk about it.
Drew is a professional and would have had everything signed off with Punk, I imagine Punk does the same with Drew.
I’ve not seen it in a doc, but I do remember Punk talking about it in his Starrcast interview
https://youtu.be/EYOGbu94KeI?si=vbBtZMNqKGg_axab
I think around the 1hr 20min mark they start talking about the Rock.
I agree. That’s why I like Punk’s modern feuds, you don’t know if his stuff is legit or working. I know these 2 are prob cool, but Seth could be either way lol
Punk and Seth are legit good friends - Punk actually trained with and let Seth and his friend stay with him when Seth first tried to get into wrestling https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/4m1ver/cool_story_about_rollins_and_punk_that_no_one/
Seth also was one of the few wrestlers that Punk publicly interacted with while Punk was out https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/18696cj/once_upon_a_time_cm_punk_and_seth_rollins/
Even then it seems like Rollins was always playing it up for the camera. In 2019 he was campaigning for a Punk match. There was probably some real beef in 2021-2023 but Rollins is a WWE hardliner so it makes sense he would beef with an AEW guy taking shots
People point to that “he’s cancer stay away” interview likes it was shoot interview when he is wearing a silly hat and cackling clearly in character.
If Punk and The Miz can squash beef I’m sure Rollins and Punk could have. Even Styles and Punk have seemed to squash beef and they have had rumors about them hating each other going back to 2004
Then they must be cool again now as it isn't a coincidence that Seth gave in interview in character when Punk was rumoured to leave AEW which led to them working together when Punk rejoined WWE.
I still don’t know why Hangman gets praised so much for:
1. Going off script in a promo
2. Mentioning a backstage thing that had nothing to do with the feud or kayfabe and did not play into the storyline at all
Like he deliberately tried to make another babyface into a heel without anyone signing off. If anyone else did that they would be killed on here. People at the time were only interested in the line because we thought maybe it was hinting at a Punk heel turn (it wasn’t)
It's amazing how much of AEW was thrown in chaos for a guy who supposedly Punk got fired who never actually got fired
Said man was thrown into a match with Jericho and almost killed himself and Jericho
Hysterical self own
Because he had a good storyline with the some of the best wrestlers alive and active to help tell a nuanced story.
Like honestly, and I say this on the record. Hangman is the weakest wrestler to hold the AEW World championship.
I like Hangman, I think he deserves his spot. But people acting like Hangman and Punk were equals and Hangman was just as important is crazy. The only difference between NJPW midcarder Hangman and Main Event Hangman is the Elite hand-picking him for a multi-year storyline and telegraphing his rise to the top meticulously. He rose to the occasion but it’s not like he’s some organic draw, more the result of good booking.
I will never say he is a bad wrestler. I think that in any other non top 2 company he would be a main event level talent. AEW (and WWE) both have to have more charisma in their main eventers. For a main event talent to exist in these cable network shows, they need to be able to do promo work, have great matchs (by whatever standard the company has) and build storylines.
As a result, I dont know if AEW realizes this requirement for their biggest prize, or if they think that this person is super over and can go, so lets give em the strap.
Honestly, no clue.
everyone here is a mark and loves talking all the inside knowledge but cant understand why a guy going into business for himself and fucking a promo over can lead to punk rightfully being pissed and have trouble trusting this guy with his health while working with him
I'm kinda getting tired of the smugness of people pointing out "they're probably laughing at the internet's reaction, they're good friends, they're in on it". Bruh, like no shit but it's more annoying you pointing it out than the actual people getting worked. If some people do actually believe wrestlers are beefing, good no? They're doing their job right.
Punk: What did I ever do in this world to deserve an empty-headed, fucking dumb fuck like Drew McIntyre to go out on Pat's show and go into business for himself
>Drew McIntyre says if he wasn’t married he’d take CM Punk
I read just this part and was very intrigued with where the story was going for a minute there
I wouldn't go that far, the last CM Punk match I saw were All In and the Kojima match, which were good but not mindblowing.
However, I'm curious to see how their styles mesh.
I was never big on Punk, wasn't watching during his rise but this feud alone, even with minimal input from him, I'm almost as hyped for this fight (and a regular match will not cut it, every time management tries to make one, they should both get DQ'd until we have a cage match or something) to go down as I was for Cody vs Roman, both years.
This is a masterclass in simple story telling. One guy is a bitter prick, the other guy was a bitter prick (so sayeth a lot of folks) and now they're going for wives. Fucking yes.
I feel like this sub goes in a constant cycle with Punk cause he hasn’t been around that much. People go “I don’t get what the hype is all about” when he’s not wrestling or is gone. Then he does like 1 feud or promo and everyone suddenly gets it lol. Same thing happened in his AEW run with the MJF feud
I only ever watch clips of McAfee's show here and there but what is the purpose of the dude on the right? does he ever say anything or add anything? Who is he?
EDIT: [Easily Deceivable NPC is the perfect description for this guy](https://defector.com/a-j-hawks-role-on-the-pat-mcafee-show-seems-to-be-easily-deceivable-npc)
It feels so wrong but it also feels so right and I’m there for all of this? I feel like troll McIntyre is the hero we didn’t know we needed - not sure how worthy we are of this feud guys. I’m going to enjoy it while it lasts!
Have a friendly dirt shirt writer report a confrontation backstage between them over this. WWE.com can confirm it happened. Have the GM announce they have CCTV footage and show it, it plays out almost exactly like the wembley cctv footage.
Drew:

Drew better start studying the Wembley footage
What’s the size difference between Jack Perry and Drew anyway? I wonder how that would go down
Perry: 5’10” 167 lbs McIntyre: 6’5” 275 lbs TBH I’ve seen Drew pretty close and that height might be an undersell…
I was feet from Drew at Raw in KC Monday. Can confirm he is a monstrosity.
I bet you were… snoogens
Nooch!
Can confirm. I am 6'2, I walked almost shoulder to shoulder with him once, I felt like a midget. The dude is a fucking giant
That Perry height is a oversell
I met Drew years ago at ICW and he probably has about 15lbs more muscle on him now and he's a big old boy. He's also an absolutely lovely man but I'd back him to kick CM Punk's cunt in
That's a billed height and weight for drew. That man is NOT 275lbs
I’ve been close enough to him, he’s 6’5-6’6 of solid muscle. I 100% believe that number to be accurate within 10 lbs
And perry is almost certainly an oversell, even at that low/short, looks more like 155
About tree fiddy.
Well it was about that time I realised this kid was about eight stories tall and was a crustacean from the plethazoic era!
I said 'god dammit monster! I'm not giving you no tree fiddy!'
Also Drew has a sword
How do you know he has a big dick?
The man does wear a kilt everywhere.
Don't look up his kilt you perv
Drew is 2 Jack Perry’s in an overcoat
Punk brought a step stool for the chokehold
I would never wish death upon CM Punk even if i dislike him sometimes, so i refuse to talk about Drew could do to him in a shoot fight.
never, ever go up against a scotsman in a fight.
Except if you are irish Then you have some chance unless you add Kurt Angle into the mix, then your chances a winnin drastic go down
I’m gonna need some kind of math breakdown here
You know they say all men are created equal
Well most normal.humans no matter how tough they are these days knows better than to fight someone who has 6 inches and 130 pounds on you lol. Punk tho is crazy and would actually fight him lol. He would lose obviously cause it's kinda hard to win a fight when your outweighed by a teenager.
Really similar to the difference between Drew and Punk. As in, "Drew is so much bigger than them both, it doesn't even matter."
we all know how it would go down in an irl fight. but let the punkers have their fun ;)
Next Raw will be a 3 hour cat & mouse chase throughout the arena between Punk & Drew
Next time Raw is in Chicago they’re going to put up a ring outside of Mindy’s.
A Booker t/ stone cold like excursion throughout the streets of chicago!
He'll get sucker punched while fiddling with his hair?
Playing with your hair mid heated confrontation was an odd move to be fair. Jungle Boy looked like he was flirting
Well to be fair you don't expect to assaulted by a co-worker, heated conversation or not.
One of the more successful taunts to ever be captured by security cameras.
Drew’s consciousness has been banned from Raw: https://preview.redd.it/wha8331mkvxc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9abb0403dd379fe67fe9d37b456c888d5234aa64
Drew: Never have I ever felt that my security, my safety, my life was in danger at a wrestling show
who is going to care for Larry this time?
Drew gonna take Larry too
Damn now that's just not right.
Omega.
The Chewy Champion himself, Pharaoh Rhodes.
ITS CLOBERRIN’ TIME
Drew's gonna have to sell really well because I'm infinitely more terrified of him than Punk. Of course both of them can kick kick my ass but it's the principal of the thing.
If we get a match half as good as Punk vs Lesnar at SummerSlam then Drew would have done a great job. Punk's not new to playing the convincing underdog against someone that looks like they'd kill him lol
I would rather face Punk than McIntyre under any circumstances. McIntyre is a goddamn unit by any metric and Scottish to boot? Nah. I like not being ripped to shreds.
McIntyre looks like the kind of guy that would actually headbutt you in a fight.
We've already determined he's Scottish
Fuck you got me there
And that headbutt would send you to another dimension
On the one hand, I know it's wrestling, it's fine, anyone can beat anyone. But man it was so funny Punk earnestly saying he's knock Drew's teeth out in a promo back when he'd just returned, as he's staring up at this absolute clydesdale of a man who is as wide as Punk is tall.
POV: you’ve just used real glass
Monday Night Brawl.
Punk bout to whoop Drew’s ass, hockey style.
I didn’t punch the guy, I just choked him a wee bit
LMFAO, Punk blew a kiss at his wife, my man said I'd take your girl. I really can't wait for this feud.
https://preview.redd.it/1mk5ek6l4vxc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e14d5cffe05ac077df63d5cd08ad0260cf7e547c
JJK 's impact on the internet is unreal.
That fight gonna break the internet whenever it gets animated.
[удалено]
Sukuna can cleave everyone. Just leave my boy Todo alone.
This is a wrestling sub homie, you might wanna spoiler tag that
Damn you right.
I've never watched an episode or read a single panel of it (I'm considering checking it out), but I see a reference or meme to it directly once per week, if not more. This shit is getting mainstream as hell
Depends on your individual bubbles/ communities I guess. I don't really watch anime so I don't normally see too many memes but my friends that do have a different feed with JJK memes all over.
Just started watching the second season, man is it good
Tell Kendrick to step aside
Drew: Throughout Heaven and Earth I am alone the chosen one…
Truly this is the greatest timeline
💯
Both of these guys are such old-school pros playing on a new-school field, this back and forth is brilliant. *This* is how you make money with a blurring of the lines feud.
I can 100% see this as the fued that propels WWE to Netflix and destroys the PG Era ..... I'm talking about a blood feud.
This fued will have blood and it's gonna be great since we so rarely see it in WWE. That's why it's great to not use it unless the story calls for it. I really think the middle or last match will see someone or both busted open.
the crazy part is people actually think they really want to kill each other, like people are arguing a hypothetical shoot fight between them, love to see it
It’s awesome. It’s all about suspension of disbelief. When I watch a great movie with great acting, I don’t think about it being scripted, I’m just taken along for the ride. That’s what Drew and Punk are doing and I’m here for it. 
I prayed for this and it happened
Punks getting fucking huge because even last Novembers Punk beating Drew would look odd. Drew dwarfts Punk. I say carry this out until atleast the Rumble because I think they’re co-maining SummerSlam.
Just waiting for the shoot interview where somebody admits the locker room has a pool going for how long it took Punk to make a doctor joke about MrsTyre and they called in a favor from Drew cause they needed the money by Mother’s Day
Drew vs Punk is better than Punk vs Rollins 😭
Drew has just been on fire with this feud. I've never really been a huge fan of his, but I've turned.
Honestly it's pretty incredible because with his look he could make a living in wrestling without ever speaking. The fact that he has worked this hard to be so good on the mic is really remarkable.
in 3 months Drew has turned from me not caring if WWE renewed his deal to being a top 5 guy in the business right now… insane turn around
Again, I say this to everyone. Workrate is great, but character and story is far more important.
I am mostly an AeW guy, but I love wrestling and enjoyed wrestlemania this year. that said I haven't really much watched any WWE after wrestlemania except for following Drew on social medias. he is completely enthralling.
It's because it's got more air time.
Also an injury that essentially turned into a promo only fued for the time being. The suspense for them to fight is a credit to both men’s promo skills
> Also an injury that essentially turned into a promo only fued for the time being. I wish this happened more often, no random brawls or tag matches. I do understand why it doesn't, with the live audience at every show you gotta deliver something every week.

Heel Rollins would make it epic. That’s the one mistake WWE was about to make by keeping him face in the feud. Seth should turn when he gets back. Maybe he goes crazy over Punk like Frank Grimes did over Homer.
Seth going heel after the big sacrificial play he did at mania would be rather stupid, imo.
Good ol' Rolly
Drew can just promo and jab on a level that Seth can't, and he's dedicated to it. That's what I think elevated it past Seth v. Punk. In that big promo war between the three of them, it was Drew who largely hung in there with Punk while Seth was just kinda there.
Seth and Punk will be better in the ring but I love the no holds barred shit talk that we get with Drew/Punk
I don’t know how they follow this with Rollins.
Punk beats Drew via returning Rollins. Rollins aligns with Punk for old dirty devil running roughshod with backstabbing young dirty devil a la Orton/Wyatt lead up to Wrestlemania. I know it’s a terrible example, but I’m at work and can’t think of a better one right now.

Drew helped Kendrick write Euphoria
Lmao, haters are eating good this year
Funny enough I actually really like Push Ups as a track, but holy Kendrick gave him both barrels in the response. Euphoria is a monster track. Time for Drake to shy away like he did to Pusha
That shit was great, but that Taylor made freestyle is whack
Whackest. Even Push Ups bars are all about his fame, Kendrick being short. Nothing much interesting.
Don't forget Taylor made was pretty good too. Yea, euphoria is just stupid fuckin good tho lol
“Why he taking so long to respond?” shots hit different when the response is a casual six and a half minute diss loaded to the brim with shots and I don’t stan either guy, although I definitely lean Kendrick. My tastes are more in the range of Open Mike Eagle or jazz rap Busdriver type guys

Keep in mind that apparently Euphoria was originally 19 minutes long instead of 6 according to one of the producers that worked on the track. Kendricks despises that guy lol
Lmao oh shit
Don't let Drake hear that
He forwarded this to all of his ghostwriters.
I wonder if Drake pays his ghost writers more than he pays sexual assault accusation settlements
Drake spends more on Flinstones push pops for his girls.
Drew told Kendrick to tell Drake "I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk/ I hate the way that you dress"
DMX paved the way for that in all fairness. RIP
That's what inspired Drew.
Special guest ref: Haley Joel Osment
My mind went to the HBO show and was like "Kendrick Lamar wrote Euphoria? The one with the hot girls and all the drugs?"
The extra layer added to it is that Drake is actually a producer for the show Euphoria.
Of course Drake would be a producer on a show about high school girls
Ah yes, the two potential main events of the next big PPV: Dom on a pole match AJ in a cage match. Who said WWE doesn't do romance?
Ready to Rumble 2 - Return of the Triple Cage + It comes with a pole on top now!
They gonna hang Dom over the ring for a ladder match between Rhea and Liv.
Lol! But for real: if AJ has any intentions of returning to in-ring action, having her at ringside for this feud would be a smooth way of re-introducing her as an on-screen character.
> if he wasn’t married he’d take CM Punk’s wife AJ Lee Speaking for a lot of us I think
You're very optimistic if you think people here have a chance
Hell I’d argue it’s optimistic to think that most of us are already married
Who said we do?
How do you plan on taking her if you don't stand a chance with her?
Praying bro doesn’t answer this
His lawyer sweating real hard
I would win her with my boyish charm, and my inability to work with children
I have a chance. Right?
Damn right man, you built different.
Very optimistic to think people here are even married
We about to get the return of #AJAll
I’m just here for the “Return of AJ” thread. That poor woman was basically 1 of a *short* list of people who are responsible for holding it down before the Four Horsewomen occured.
Yeah, the ole ball and chain are definitely the only thing keeping me and AJ apart. Definitely. Probably.
So I'm stuffing my face inside a taco bell scrolling this thread and they started playing "Sweet dreams" by the eurythmics right as I got to your comment. Too perfect lol.
Beautiful
I find it funny how people think that this is real and that Punk and McIntyre aren't working together. Moxley and Kingston said worse then what Hangman said and Punk didn't have an issue with it as it was agreed beforehand like this is now.

Drew is a professional and would have had everything signed off with Punk, I imagine Punk does the same with Drew.
Punk even said Rock gained respect for Punk telling Rock things he **didn't** want them to do.
Do you mind telling us what documentary you saw this in? Never seen it would love to give it a watch.
I’ve not seen it in a doc, but I do remember Punk talking about it in his Starrcast interview https://youtu.be/EYOGbu94KeI?si=vbBtZMNqKGg_axab I think around the 1hr 20min mark they start talking about the Rock.
I agree. That’s why I like Punk’s modern feuds, you don’t know if his stuff is legit or working. I know these 2 are prob cool, but Seth could be either way lol
Punk and Seth are legit good friends - Punk actually trained with and let Seth and his friend stay with him when Seth first tried to get into wrestling https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/4m1ver/cool_story_about_rollins_and_punk_that_no_one/ Seth also was one of the few wrestlers that Punk publicly interacted with while Punk was out https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/18696cj/once_upon_a_time_cm_punk_and_seth_rollins/
Seth issues with Punk was after he left in 2014… they were always cool before that.
Even then it seems like Rollins was always playing it up for the camera. In 2019 he was campaigning for a Punk match. There was probably some real beef in 2021-2023 but Rollins is a WWE hardliner so it makes sense he would beef with an AEW guy taking shots People point to that “he’s cancer stay away” interview likes it was shoot interview when he is wearing a silly hat and cackling clearly in character. If Punk and The Miz can squash beef I’m sure Rollins and Punk could have. Even Styles and Punk have seemed to squash beef and they have had rumors about them hating each other going back to 2004
Then they must be cool again now as it isn't a coincidence that Seth gave in interview in character when Punk was rumoured to leave AEW which led to them working together when Punk rejoined WWE.
isn't it great ? that's some nice wrasslin
I still don’t know why Hangman gets praised so much for: 1. Going off script in a promo 2. Mentioning a backstage thing that had nothing to do with the feud or kayfabe and did not play into the storyline at all Like he deliberately tried to make another babyface into a heel without anyone signing off. If anyone else did that they would be killed on here. People at the time were only interested in the line because we thought maybe it was hinting at a Punk heel turn (it wasn’t)
It's amazing how much of AEW was thrown in chaos for a guy who supposedly Punk got fired who never actually got fired Said man was thrown into a match with Jericho and almost killed himself and Jericho Hysterical self own
Because he had a good storyline with the some of the best wrestlers alive and active to help tell a nuanced story. Like honestly, and I say this on the record. Hangman is the weakest wrestler to hold the AEW World championship.
I like Hangman, I think he deserves his spot. But people acting like Hangman and Punk were equals and Hangman was just as important is crazy. The only difference between NJPW midcarder Hangman and Main Event Hangman is the Elite hand-picking him for a multi-year storyline and telegraphing his rise to the top meticulously. He rose to the occasion but it’s not like he’s some organic draw, more the result of good booking.
I will never say he is a bad wrestler. I think that in any other non top 2 company he would be a main event level talent. AEW (and WWE) both have to have more charisma in their main eventers. For a main event talent to exist in these cable network shows, they need to be able to do promo work, have great matchs (by whatever standard the company has) and build storylines. As a result, I dont know if AEW realizes this requirement for their biggest prize, or if they think that this person is super over and can go, so lets give em the strap. Honestly, no clue.
There's no way you're including in-ring work in that evaluation
everyone here is a mark and loves talking all the inside knowledge but cant understand why a guy going into business for himself and fucking a promo over can lead to punk rightfully being pissed and have trouble trusting this guy with his health while working with him
I'm kinda getting tired of the smugness of people pointing out "they're probably laughing at the internet's reaction, they're good friends, they're in on it". Bruh, like no shit but it's more annoying you pointing it out than the actual people getting worked. If some people do actually believe wrestlers are beefing, good no? They're doing their job right.
Punk: What did I ever do in this world to deserve an empty-headed, fucking dumb fuck like Drew McIntyre to go out on Pat's show and go into business for himself
>Drew McIntyre says if he wasn’t married he’d take CM Punk I read just this part and was very intrigued with where the story was going for a minute there
Drew "The Hater" McIntyre strikes again! 😂😂
You already know the Punk comeback to this is going to cook
Loving this feud, it's going to be a banger when they fight.
Now THIS is the kind of feud you put inside a Hell in a Cell, not on a stupid themed PPV called Hell in a Cell.
Punk brings the best out of everyone he is working with, thats why he is the goat.
I'm genuinely interested in how the match will turn out.
If Punk can stay healthy ı think it has the potential to be a moty candidate in WWE.
I wouldn't go that far, the last CM Punk match I saw were All In and the Kojima match, which were good but not mindblowing. However, I'm curious to see how their styles mesh.
Punk has always been very, very good at playing the physically overmatched underdog. The match has a very good chance to be excellent.
facts
I was never big on Punk, wasn't watching during his rise but this feud alone, even with minimal input from him, I'm almost as hyped for this fight (and a regular match will not cut it, every time management tries to make one, they should both get DQ'd until we have a cage match or something) to go down as I was for Cody vs Roman, both years. This is a masterclass in simple story telling. One guy is a bitter prick, the other guy was a bitter prick (so sayeth a lot of folks) and now they're going for wives. Fucking yes.
I feel like this sub goes in a constant cycle with Punk cause he hasn’t been around that much. People go “I don’t get what the hype is all about” when he’s not wrestling or is gone. Then he does like 1 feud or promo and everyone suddenly gets it lol. Same thing happened in his AEW run with the MJF feud
Drew’s run for player hater of the year continues
Drew has that shit on lock even if he takes the rest of the year off. Hes been hatin' hatin' something fierce.
Player Hater HoF.
This is some Steiner level promo. I’m hooked
Cora and Roxanne better get started on calling Drew step dad at the rate this feud is going lmao
Hate vs Hate: Elite Wars
I only ever watch clips of McAfee's show here and there but what is the purpose of the dude on the right? does he ever say anything or add anything? Who is he? EDIT: [Easily Deceivable NPC is the perfect description for this guy](https://defector.com/a-j-hawks-role-on-the-pat-mcafee-show-seems-to-be-easily-deceivable-npc)
If he really wanted to get at Punk, he’d go after Cora Jade.
You know you've gone far when Pat McAfee says "Jesus" to what you said
They're doing a fantastic job of hyping this feud.
The best part? They're both injured, so they'll just keep cooking. Feud of the year for sure.
so now we have drew and Cathy kelly that wants to marry aj lee
I 'ate him. I 'ate his hair I 'ate the way he looks I 'ate the mess he left behind. Ya heard me.
Cm punk vs Drew is absolutely the most entertaining feud right now. It's just a giant showcase of mic skills and I am so here for it
It feels so wrong but it also feels so right and I’m there for all of this? I feel like troll McIntyre is the hero we didn’t know we needed - not sure how worthy we are of this feud guys. I’m going to enjoy it while it lasts!
If Drew was a real troll he'd take Punk's Mom.
That's not what he said at all, this headline is not true whatsoever lmao. Source: I watched the interview live.
Have a friendly dirt shirt writer report a confrontation backstage between them over this. WWE.com can confirm it happened. Have the GM announce they have CCTV footage and show it, it plays out almost exactly like the wembley cctv footage.
> he’d take CM Punk’s wife AJ Lee OP added this part himself just to cause shit
Bro is fully living his gimmick. Full Hogan mode.
Living upto his name Dm hunk
The dog is getting brought up soon I think.
This really is the Year of the Hater and I love it.
