CM Punk to fight Drew McIntyre in a strap match at Bash in Berlin

On this week’s episode of WWE RAW, Punk called out Drew McIntyre and challenged him to a strap match at Bash in Berlin. The Best in the World came up with the idea of the unique match after thrashing The Scottish Psychopath with his belt last week.

Biting the chance to punish Punk, McIntyre accepted the match.

WWE fans had last seen such a match for the Universal Championship between Daniel Bryan and the late Bray Wyatt.

A strap in the ring will bind both stars on August 31. However, what truly binds them is a handmade bracelet gifted to CM Punk by a fan that McIntyre stole from him. It would be interesting to see if Punk can score the equalizer and beat the Scotsman in Berlin to retrieve his cherished possession back from him.
