Drew McIntyre’s obsession with CM Punk ended up costing him the WWE World Heavyweight championship which he won minutes before from Seth Rollins.
McIntyre won the title in front of fans for the first time after he won his two previous WWE titles during the pandemic era with zero fans in the stands. But that celebration soon turned sour thanks to CM Punk.
Instead of just taking the high road and go celebrate in the back, McIntyre decided to taunt Punk on the announce desk and after crotch chopping him, Punk had enough, tripped McIntyre on the desk and whipped him with the arm brace until Damian Priest’s song hit the speakers.
The crowd exploded as Priest ran to the ring and smashed McIntyre with the briefcase, then handed it over and cashed in.
In the ring, Priest wasted no time and immediately hit the South of Heaven chokeslam for the pinfall victory and then celebrated at the top of the stage with the rest of Judgment Day.
Punk was impressed and said it was beautiful while blowing kisses at McIntyre.
