Drew McIntyre has expressed his disdain for the recently announced World Heavyweight Championship match at SummerSlam. The “Scottish Warrior” took to social media to challenge the upcoming bout between the reigning champion Gunther and the new top contender CM Punk.
Less than 24 hours after the match was confirmed, McIntyre shared a video on Twitter depicting two porcelain toilets swinging on ropes and colliding, accompanied by a straightforward caption: “Gunther vs Punk.” This was McIntyre’s way of implying that the championship face-off might lack quality.
CM Punk earned his title shot by winning a star-packed gauntlet match on Raw, where he finally overcame Bron Breakker. The gauntlet also featured other notable wrestlers like Jey Uso, La Knight, and Penta. This championship showdown is scheduled for the two-day SummerSlam event on August 2nd and 3rd at MetLife Stadium.
McIntyre’s bitterness likely stems from his recent setback, having been defeated by Randy Orton in the main event last Saturday. Although McIntyre has tag team matches lined up for SummerSlam—teaming with Logan Paul and Orton alongside Jerry Roll—his sights were clearly set on the World Heavyweight Championship, now contested by Punk.
Fan Take: This tension injected by McIntyre adds an extra layer of drama leading into SummerSlam, a must-watch event for WWE fans. It could signal the brewing of new rivalries and shake-ups in the championship scene, keeping the sport exciting and unpredictable.
