Drew McIntyre, a prominent figure in WWE for the past decade, has been showcasing a new persona since his transformation to the dark side. In a recent promo on RAW, he used logic to justify his actions, sparking speculation that he was targeting CM Punk. McIntyre’s comments have left many fans wondering if he was indeed taking a shot at the outspoken wrestler. However, in a Twitter post, the Scottish Warrior clarified that his promo could have been about anyone, not just Punk.
McIntyre’s sentiments were rooted in his frustration with the WWE’s handling of his career. The exclusion of his name from the 2024 Royal Rumble poster was a clear indication that he wasn’t valued by the company. This perceived slight only added fuel to his anger, which was evident in his promo. By stating that some individuals could get away with unprofessional behavior, McIntyre appeared to be pointing fingers at those who have been able to reboot their careers.
The promo that sparked the controversy was a scathing one, with McIntyre expressing his disdain for those who feel entitled to forgiveness and second chances. It’s clear that McIntyre is still smarting from his own perceived injustices. His rants on RAW have become increasingly aggressive, and his recent feud with Sami Zayn is just one example of his growing frustration.

McIntyre’s words have left many fans questioning his motivations. Was he genuinely upset about being left off the Royal Rumble poster, or was CM Punk the true target of his ire? McIntyre’s silence on the matter has only added to the speculation. One thing is certain, however – the Scottish Warrior is no longer the fan favorite of previous years. His transformation to the dark side has brought a new level of complexity to his character, making him a more intriguing figure in professional wrestling.
Despite the confusion surrounding his comments, McIntyre remains a significant player in the WWE. His actions on RAW have raised questions about his mental state and his ability to coexist with his fellow wrestlers. With his career at a crossroads, McIntyre’s future in the WWE hangs in the balance.
