Details On Why WWE Wanted CM Punk To Beat Drew McIntyre At Bash In Berlin

CM Punk has been feuding with Drew McIntyre for most of 2024 and McIntyre picked up a huge win over CM Punk at SummerSlam last month. Over the weekend Punk and McIntyre faced off once again in a strap match, and this time Punk defeated Drew.

During a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer talked about CM Punk beating Drew McIntyre at Bash In Berlin, and the decision was reportedly made because WWE wanted to give CM Punk a big win.

“Punk made him tap out, he gave him four GTS’, he touched all four corners without the other guy touching the corner behind him.

“The mentality was that Punk had not had a big win, he had been in the company since November and they just felt that he needed a massive win because he’s a massive star.”

“They felt that Drew can handle it and Drew’s gonna get his heat back two days later.”

This week on Raw, CM Punk teased a potential title match when he sent a message to Gunther, but Drew made it clear that he’s not done with Punk when he attacked him then destroyed his bracelet.
