Drew McIntyre Reveals His Honest Reaction To CM Punk’s WWE Return

CM Punk is without a doubt one of the most notorious figures in all of professional wrestling, and he shocked the world when he returned to WWE at the Survivor Series premium live event last year. Prior to Punk making his return Drew McIntyre stormed out of the arena, and he has since been involved in a bitter rivalry with Punk on WWE programming.

Drew’s feud with CM Punk has arguably been the most talked about feud of the year, and Drew recently spoke to PWInsider about his genuine reaction to Punk’s return.

“I mean, if I had a chance to really think about it, initially, I was pretty annoyed, but I understand business and I understand why it was done, but, I found it interesting that everybody started going, oh, it’s obviously going to be this, or obviously going to be this guy.

He’s still a professional, and we’ve been given the platform to show the world what we can truly do creatively, our creative team, obviously led by Triple H, is very much, you go out there and you take this creative as far as you can take it. You make people feel, you make people believe, and it’s not so hard to make people believe when you truly feel what’s good on screen, inside and out.”
