The issues between Punk and McIntyre began several months ago after the latter injured the former WWE Champion. At WrestleMania XL, Punk cost McIntyre the World Heavyweight Championship, allowing Priest to cash in his Money in the Bank contract.
Fast forward to Clash at the Castle: Scotland, and CM Punk once again cost McIntyre the chance to regain the World Heavyweight Championship. This led to the Scotsman "quitting" the company, only for him to brutally attack Punk on an episode of SmackDown in Chicago. A match between Punk and McIntyre is expected to occur in the near future.
