In a fiery promo on the February 6 episode of WWE SmackDown, Drew McIntyre let loose on the men who have repeatedly targeted him, unleashing a verbal assault on CM Punk and Roman Reigns.
A Long Time Coming
Drew McIntyre finally got the chance to address the elephant in the room on SmackDown, having been the victim of two brutal attacks at the hands of CM Punk and Roman Reigns. The Scottish powerhouse, known for his unwavering dedication to his craft, has been quietly simmering in the background, waiting for his moment to speak out against those who have wronged him.
According to a WWE insider, McIntyre had been itching to unleash his pent-up anger and frustration on CM Punk and Roman Reigns for quite some time, and the recent attacks had only served to fuel his determination.
“Drew has been seething for weeks,” the insider revealed. “He’s a proud man, and to be targeted like that by two of the biggest stars in the company is a slap in the face. He’s been waiting for the perfect moment to strike, and when he finally got his chance, he didn’t hold back.”
McIntyre’s Verbal Assault
In his promo, McIntyre delivered a blistering attack on CM Punk and Roman Reigns, laying bare their motivations and questioning their legitimacy as WWE champions. McIntyre accused Punk of being a hypocrite, claiming that the former AEW star’s words and actions are nothing but a facade designed to further his own interests.
“You’re a fake, Punk,” McIntyre thundered. “You’re a fake with a bad attitude and a worse haircut. You think you’re above everyone else, but you’re not. You’re just a relic of a bygone era, clinging to the past because you have no idea how to move forward.”
McIntyre’s verbal assault didn’t stop there, as he turned his attention to Roman Reigns, accusing the Tribal Chief of being a coward who hides behind his family’s legacy.
“You’re a coward, Roman,” McIntyre spat. “You’re a coward who hides behind the blood of your ancestors. You think you’re worthy of the WWE Championship, but you’re not. You’re just a glorified jobber, waiting for someone to come along and take you down a peg.”
A Call to Action
As McIntyre’s promo came to a close, he issued a clear challenge to CM Punk and Roman Reigns: put up or shut up. “If you’re so confident in your abilities, then let’s put it on the line,” McIntyre said. “Let’s put the WWE Championship on the line, and let’s see who comes out on top. I’m not afraid of you, Punk. I’m not afraid of you, Roman. I’m the best man in this company, and I’m here to prove it.”
The question now is: will CM Punk and Roman Reigns accept McIntyre’s challenge, or will they continue to hide behind their words and actions? One thing is for certain: the tension between McIntyre and his two rivals is building to a boiling point, and it won’t be long before it all comes to a head.
What’s Next for McIntyre?
As McIntyre looks to the future, one thing is clear: he’s not going to back down from this fight. Sources close to the WWE superstar reveal that he’s been training harder than ever, honing his skills in the ring and perfecting his craft.
“Drew is more focused than ever,” one source revealed. “He’s been putting in the work, and he’s confident that he has what it takes to take down both Punk and Reigns. He’s not going to let them push him around anymore. He’s going to take what’s his, and he’s going to prove to the world that he’s the best.”
With McIntyre’s verbal assault on CM Punk and Roman Reigns still echoing through the WWE universe, one thing is for certain: this feud is far from over. Stay tuned to see what’s next for the Scottish powerhouse and his two rivals.
