Drew McIntyre got his revenge on CM Punk after Punk cost him the World Heavyweight Championship at WWE Clash at the Castle in Scotland. During last week's episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Drew launched a brutal backstage attack on Punk, leaving him battered and bleeding. McIntyre then carried Punk out and dropped him on the stage in front of his home crowd in Chicago.
An intriguing detail emerged during this assault. McIntyre took a bracelet with him that Punk was wearing. He revealed during the latest episode of Monday Night RAW that the bracelet was precious to Punk, inscribed with the names of his wife, AJ Lee, and his dog, Larry.
McIntyre wore the bracelet himself, declaring his intention to win the Money in the Bank briefcase with AJ and Larry symbolically by his side. This feud has become intensely personal, and it will be fascinating to see how it evolves in the coming weeks.
