CM Punk and Drew McIntyre went to war inside Hell in a Cell to kick off Bad Blood. The show was aptly named since the match saw both men cut open and the canvas was covered in both men's blood.

There were many high-octane moves throughout the match, and it was clear that both men needed to look out for each other. After Drew McIntyre Suplexed CM Punk through a table off the apron on the outside, Punk was able to make it clear that he was ok by lifting his arm and squeezing McIntyre's bicep.

This is the same way that referees check on WWE Superstars after they hit with high-risk moves through tables or with chairs. The stars squeeze the official's hands to say that they're ok since they aren't able to communicate out of character.

It's interesting to see that Punk and McIntyre are still looking out for each other in this match since there have been reports in recent weeks stating that both men hate each other in real life.

This means that despite all of the real-life hatred, they remained professional and ensured that both men were safe throughout their time inside The Devil's Playground.
