3 reasons why Drew McIntyre might end up victorious at Bad Blood PLE

The Bad Blood PLE is set to take place in October and will witness Drew McIntyre face CM Punk in a Hell in a Cell Match. This bout between the duo will be the third time they face each other. Earlier, McIntyre and Punk locked horns at SummerSlam and Bash in Berlin with both men winning a match each.

This is what makes the upcoming rubber match between the two very important. The winner of the Hell in a Cell Match at Bad Blood basically ends up winning the entire rivalry. While Punk is a favorite to walk out victorious in October, there is a chance McIntyre might end up winning.

In this article, we will look at three reasons why Drew McIntyre might end up winning at the Bad Blood PLE:

#3. Drew McIntyre has been held back for a long time

When Drew McIntyre says he has been robbed of opportunities on several occasions, he is not entirely wrong. The best example of it took place at WrestleMania 40 where McIntyre won the World Heavyweight Championship but lost it the same night to Damian Priest.

While this is only one occasion, McIntyre has suffered a similar fate on many other PLEs. Hence, the upcoming Bad Blood could be the first time where WWE books the Scotsman to win the rivalry and make a name for himself.

#2. Drew McIntyre winning could lead to a great feud

At Bad Blood, the saga between Drew McIntyre and CM Punk will finally come to an end regardless of the result. However, if Drew is booked to win this match, it could lead to a great feud for wrestling fans. McIntyre could go on to face World Heavyweight Champion, Gunther.

Until now, the matches involving McIntyre and Gunther have always been a treat to watch. One can only imagine how good the feud would be if a World Championship was involved. The two powerhouses of European wrestling could deliver one of the best rivalries in recent memory.

#1. CM Punk has nothing to lose

At the stage CM Punk is currently in, he has nothing to lose. Because regardless of a win or loss against McIntyre, Punk will most likely face Seth Rollins due to the heat between the two. However, when it comes to McIntyre, he has everything to lose if the match at Bad Blood does not go his way.

Until now, McIntyre has mainly ended up on the losing side on most occasions. If he also loses against Punk at Bad Blood, the Scotsman won't have anything substantial to chase on RAW. This is another reason why WWE could book him to beat Punk at Bad Blood.
