WWE RAW star explains why he despises CM Punk

Drew McIntyre recently shared why he cannot stand CM Punk, and why their rivalry has become so personal on RAW.

Punk returned to the world of professional wrestling after seven years away on the second episode of AEW Rampage in 2021. However, his time in All Elite Wrestling ended in controversy, as he was fired by the promotion following a backstage altercation with current TNT Champion Jack Perry at All In 2024. He returned to WWE at Survivor Series 2023 following the Men's WarGames match.

Speaking with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Bill Apter in an exclusive interview earlier this month, McIntyre disclosed why he does not like the 45-year-old. McIntyre claimed Punk was a liar, and only cared about himself.

"Hypocrite. Liar. Taker. Likes to put on a facade like he's trying to help people when he's really just trying to help himself, and if you doubt me just look at the mountains of evidence that are available through people's testimonies." [From 0:17 – 0:34]
