The rivalry between McIntyre and Punk escalated at WrestleMania 40 when CM Punk attacked McIntyre after his match with Seth Rollins. This allowed Money in the Bank winner Damian Priest to cash in his briefcase and win the title. McIntyre lost the championship due to this interference, which spurred him to seek revenge against Punk.
During an appearance on the Pat McAfee show, Drew McIntyre challenged Punk again. He made a bold statement about Punk’s wife, AJ Lee, saying, “I’ll tear you apart on social media, I’ll step from behind the keyboard and I’ll tear you apart physically now if I wasn’t married I’d take your girl too. That’s the kind of troll I am.”
The exchange continued with a verbal battle between Drew McIntyre and CM Punk on this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW.
