Drew McIntyre Says CM Punk is Made of Glass and He Will Break Him

At the 2024 Royal Rumble, McIntyre asserted his dominance over CM Punk with a devastating Future Shock DDT, inflicting torn triceps upon Punk. Despite the injury, Punk managed to eliminate McIntyre from the match. However, McIntyre didn’t let the rivalry simmer there. On the subsequent RAW episode, he targeted Punk’s injured arm and has persistently taken jabs at him ever since.

In an interview with The Ringer, McIntyre responded when asked if Punk had acknowledged his influence on his journey, expressing his disappointment that Punk hadn’t given credit where it was due.

“No, I’d appreciate that if he did. I saw it in his eyes the first time we were in the ring together and I was on the microphone. I could see it right in his eyes, ‘this was not the same kid that I made his life difficult for a period of time. Also, he’s twice the size of me now. No matter how much jiu-jitsu I’ve done, he’ll tear my arms off and beat me with them or give me the Future Shock and my triceps would fall off.’ I understand he’s a very big bame and brings a lot of eyeballs.

“I recognize from a business perspective. I’m fine with that. He came crawling back to sports entertainment, good for him. Brought a few eyeballs, got a big payday, I get all that stuff. If you get put in a situation with me, I’m going to verbally tear your apart and physically tear your apart. I want that match with him, but I don’t believe he’ll be in a physical condition to wrestle Drew McIntyre. He’s literally made of glass, real glass, and I’ll break him.”
