3 stipulations that would be perfect for Drew McIntyre vs. CM Punk's first match ever

At WWE Clash at the Castle, Drew McIntyre was robbed of the opportunity of becoming the World Heavyweight Champion by CM Punk. Just when McIntyre was close to securing the pin on Damian Priest, Punk interfered in a referee's shirt, allowing Priest to take advantage.

This act was the second time after WrestleMania XL where Punk cost McIntyre the World Heavyweight Championship. Hence, one thing is clear: McIntyre and Punk will face each other at some point. In this article, we will discuss three match stipulations for a potential first-time bout between the two.

#3. Drew McIntyre and CM Punk could face each other in a "Loser Leaves" Match

The rivalry between Drew McIntyre and CM Punk has reached a stage where they both would like to get rid of each other. While there aren't many ways that can happen, one possibility for the two men to try and force each other out is by competing in a Loser Leaves RAW match.

Whenever the two face each other, a stipulation like that would ensure that the loser gets away from RAW, and it would also ensure that they wouldn't cross paths again – at least until the next Draft. Another way this match could be beneficial is because SmackDown will receive a huge star regardless of who loses.

#2. "I Quit" Match

Many superstars take pleasure in pinning or submitting their opponents. However, the feeling of making your greatest rival utter the words "I Quit" can be even greater. This is the power the "I Quit" match holds.

And given the rivalry between Drew McIntyre and CM Punk, this match would be perfect for both men. Regardless of who wins, seeing the loser say "I quit" would be a big moment in this rivalry. It will be interesting to see if WWE books something along these lines.

#1. Hell in a Cell match

When Drew McIntyre and CM Punk face each other, the one thing they will want to ensure is that neither man can escape. After all, they have had a rivalry brewing for months, and they would want to take out all their animosity inside the ring. The best way to ensure no one runs is to compete in a Hell in a Cell match.

Considered to be one of the most brutal structures in the Stamford-based promotion, a Hell in a Cell match would also provide entertainment to the viewers. Also, a match like this would be good for the two wrestlers, given it's the first time they will be facing each other in singles competition.
