Top WWE star steals CM Punk's catchphrase

A top WWE star's latest tweet features a popular catchphrase uttered by CM Punk upon his return.

Drew McIntyre did not mince his words while expressing his happiness over Punk's injury. The Scottish Warrior publicly stated that the injury made him happy and he slept like a baby.

WWE recently launched a new Drew McIntyre T-shirt in which he takes a massive shot at CM Punk for not making it to 'Mania. The former champion noticed the tweet and used Punk's catchphrase in the caption of his reply.

He also mocked the #WeWantCody hashtag by replacing Cody's name with his own.

"I’m not here to make friends; I’m here to make money 😏 #WeWantDrew," McIntyre wrote.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
