CM Punk defeats major rival in brutal Strap Match at WWE Bash in Berlin; takes bracelet back

CM Punk battled Drew McIntyre in a Strap Match tonight at WWE Bash in Berlin. The rivalry between the two stars has been going on since the Men's Royal Rumble match in January.

The crowd in the Uber Arena was heavily behind CM Punk during the Strap Match against Drew McIntyre. Punk connected with a GTS before the action spilled outside the ring. McIntyre set up for a Powerbomb on the announce table, but Punk countered into a Back Body Drop.

Punk whipped McIntyre several times with the strap before getting a table from under the ring. However, McIntyre battled back and slid the table back under the ring as the crowd booed. Later in the match, Punk took out the table again and set it up next to the ring. Unfortunately for Punk, it quickly backfired, and McIntyre sent him crashing through the table. McIntyre pulled out the bracelet with AJ Lee and Punk's dog's names on it and put it on.

Punk connected with a GTS out of nowhere and noticed the bracelet. He hit the former World Heavyweight Champion with his finisher three more times, took his bracelet, and touched all four turnbuckles to win the Strap Match at WWE Bash in Berlin.

Drew McIntyre took credit for CM Punk suffering a torn triceps in the Men's Royal Rumble match. CM Punk missed several months of action before returning to the ring at WWE SummerSlam to battle McIntyre. Drew McIntyre defeated the veteran at the Premium Live Event earlier this month, and the two stars are rumored to battle once again at WWE Bad Blood in October.
