Today on WWE SmackDown, a shocking turn of events happened when Drew McIntyre came back from a short break to attack his longtime rival CM Punk brutally in the middle of Punk’s city, Chicago. When CM Punk spoke to the WWE Universe from his home city of Chicago, Illinois, the night started with high hopes. Punk had just lost in a controversial match at WWE Clash at the Castle.
The address of Punk and the return of McIntyre
CM Punk, who is known for giving energizing talks, didn’t waste any time telling everyone what happened at Clash at the Castle recently. His passionate speech was mostly about how his championship hopes were dashed and how interference took away his fair chance at the title. The crowd in Chicago cheered and booed, and Punk’s story took a surprising turn as the mood in the arena changed from excitement to stress.
Later that night, when things were getting heated backstage, the clear sound of a fight could be heard throughout the venue. As soon as a badly hurt CM Punk was found lying on the cold concrete, cameras ran to the scene to record the shocking event. Drew McIntyre, a figure that was always associated with energy and planned violence, stood over him.
The vengeful Drew McIntyre, who had made news earlier in the week when he seemed to leave WWE on Monday Night RAW, came back with a rage. The Scottish giant quickly got back at his longtime enemy, Punk, by pulling him through the backstage area and into the ring, where he was in full view of everyone. The altercation shocked everyone in the WWE Universe, and both fans and officials were confused by McIntyre’s quick return and violent actions.
General Manager Nick Aldis stepped in quickly and called for security to restore order and make sure Punk got medical help right away. The fallout of McIntyre’s attack was shown in graphic detail, with Punk being carried out of the arena on a bed and rushed to a nearby hospital.
