The WWE Superstar in question is Drew McIntyre. The history between CM Punk and The Young Bucks in AEW is very well documented. Well, in case you are not aware, Punk was involved in the infamous "brawl out" incident with The Bucks and Kenny Omega after the All Out 2022 media scrum.

Nearly a year after the incident, the Second City Saint got fired from AEW and made his WWE return at Survivor Series: WarGames 2023. Meanwhile, Punk reportedly suffered a tricep injury due to Drew McIntyre during the 2024 Men's Royal Rumble Match and is expected to be out of action for the next several months, including missing WrestleMania 40.

While this could be an accident, fans on the internet have a completely different theory. Many fans feel Drew injured Punk on purpose because The Young Bucks wanted him out and asked McIntyre to do so.
