When NXT makes its official debut on The CW in October, fans won’t just be tuning in to see “All Ego” Ethan Page, Trick Williams, Roxanne Perez, Oba Femi, and (probably) Joe Hendry – should someone say his name – but also the “Best in the World,” CM Punk, who will be appearing on the […]

After securing a huge Strap match win at Bash in Berlin, CM Punk boldly declared that his feud with Drew McIntyre was over before turning his attention to a proper pursuit of Gunther’s WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

After securing the first and biggest win of his WWE career since returning to the company at Survivor Series 2023, CM Punk was feeling pretty darn good about himself.

When “Stone Cold” Steve Austin skipped WrestleMania 39 and WrestleMania 40 for one reason or another, it got fans openly questioning what was going on between WWE and the “Texas Rattlesnake.” Did Paul “Triple H” Levesque and company not want to pay up for a meaningful appearance from arguably the promotion’s biggest stars of all […]

The ongoing WWE feud between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre has unleashed a new side of the Scottish Warrior. He is now the most Deadpool-like self-aware character on the roster, thanks to Triple H.

After teasing his return to the WWE ring for a promo one week after leaving massive marks on Drew McIntyre’s back with a leather strap, CM Punk didn’t go full-on fire and brimstone, accusing his foe of being evil, heartless, or a bully – okay, he eventually got there – but instead to shout out […]

While CM Punk has almost been outside of the AEW Galaxy for a full year now, with his infamous fight with Jack Perry coming just before the opening match of last year’s All In at Wembley Stadium, the “Second City Saint” just can’t help but get asked questions about his former home and how his […]

When news broke that the Lucha Brothers, Rey Fenix and Pena El Zero Miedo, were strongly entertaining a move to WWE this fall once their respective contracts come to an end in AEW, it hit the IWC by storm. Why would one of the greatest tag teams in the world leave the best tag team […]

After spending months – literally – screwing Drew McIntyre out of every single chance he’s had to become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, CM Punk would finally get his first-ever singles match against the “Scottish Warrior” in the fifth match on a loaded SummerSlam card, even if he had to have Seth Rollins serve as […]

Before SummerSlam officially kicked off in Cleveland, Ohio, Michael Cole took it upon himself to sit down with the “Best in the World,” CM Punk, to ask him about his return to WWE, his injuries, and his feud with Drew McIntyre, which finally gets to go physical at Cleveland Browns Arena.

Why is arguably the most highly anticipated match on the SummerSlam card, Drew McIntyre versus CM Punk, the one match on the card – at least right now – that doesn’t have a championship belt on the line? How was WWE able to craft a story so engrossing, so meme-able, so gosh darn engaging that […]

The WWE’s 2024 Money in the Bank went down on July 6, 2024, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Drew McIntyre and Tiffany Stratton won the men’s and women’s ladder matches, while CM Punk once again screwed over the former. Seth “Freakin” Rollins also failed in his clash with World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest. And the Bloodline […]

When Paul “Triple H” Levesque went out to the Money in the Bank post-show press conference to discuss WWE’s latest Premium Live Event, there was one question – other than about John Cena’s retirement -he just had to know was going to be asked by a member of the media in attendance: why didn’t Damian […]

Though they haven’t shared the ring in, oh, over a decade, CM Punk and John Cena will forever be linked together in the eyes of professional wrestling fans, as you can’t tell one of their stories without mentioning the other. So naturally, when Cena announced at Money in the Bank that he was calling it […]

Let me know if you’ve heard this one before: Drew McIntyre did something good on a WWE Premium Live Event and looked primed to have a major come-up in his professional wrestling career, only for CM Punk to come out and ruin it. A tale as old as time, right? Or at least since earlier […]

When it comes to consequencial events in the WWE Universe, few hold the same weight as Money in the Bank. Sure, WrestleMania is still WrestleMania, the Super Bowl of the squared circle, if you will, and the Royal Rumble is up there, too, as it guarantees two performers’ main event matches on the show. But […]

Outside of maybe Chad Gable, nobody in the WWE Universe had a more eventful week than Drew McIntyre. From losing his match at Clash at the Castle against Damian Priest in heartbreaking fashion, with CM Punk throwing on a referee’s shirt to interfere with the ultimate outcome, to declaring that he quit the promotion outright […]

While CM Punk is one of the most popular wrestlers on the planet, his appeal is anything but universal, with large and sometimes very vocal corners of the fandom taking shots at the man self-mythologized as the “Best in the World.” Fans of AEW, or at least of The Elite specifically? Yeah, they have a […]

Though the events of Clash at the Castle have been slightly overshadowed by the main event of Monday Night RAW, when Chad Gable was “massacred” by a returning Uncle Howdy and his faction, the Wyatt Sick6, apparently no one told that to CM Punk, as he ran down to the ring for a rare SmackDown […]

After taking a ridiculous loss at Clash at the Castle due to a brutal mix of outside interference, back luck, and the ill intentions of CM Punk, going so far as to put hands on the match’s referee and announcer, Corey Graves, once the cameras stopped rolling in his college town of Glasgow, Scotland, Drew […]

When Paul “Triple H” Levesque finally made his way to the Clash at the Castle post-show press conference following comments from the Unholy Union, CM Punk, and Damian Priest, it felt like only a matter of time before the WWE CCO addressed the elephant in the room: did Drew McIntyre get screwed by the “Best […]

When CM Punk, wearing a referee’s shirt, ran out to the ring to cost Drew McIntyre the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, it added even more fire to the most dramatic beef of 2024 this side of Kendrick Lamar and Drake. After laying out the champion clean in the ring, McIntyre waited what felt like an […]

All WWE had to do to have a successful Clash at the Castle was execute one simple booking decision: Drew McIntyre wins the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. That’s it; sure, the other matches on the card mattered too, and the decision to give the Unholy Union the tag team straps would have been debated about […]

After defeating Jordynne Grace in a surprisingly bloody NXT Battleground match featuring outside interference from Tatum Paxley and Dana Brooke/Ash by Ellegance, you would think Roxanne Perez would be in a pretty good mood, right? Securing a massive win in front of a receptive crowd while being lauded for her in-ring abilities? Theoretically, yes, one […]

When it comes to the wrestling career of Roxanne Perez, no person has done more to mentor her career than Booker T, the NXT commentator and owner of Reality of Wrestling, a combination school and promotion in Texas that helped to train “The Prodigy” on her path to international stardom. And yet, as she’s gone […]

With Clash at the Castle rapidly approaching, there’s no member of the WWE Universe, not even Cody Rhodes, who is more of a focal point in the promotion than Drew McIntyre, the first-ever Superstar to come from the country. On paper, it makes sense, right? McIntyre will almost certainly be headlining the show next weekend […]
