4 signs Drew McIntyre will defeat CM Punk and end the saga at WWE SummerSlam 2024
Drew McIntyre and CM Punk's feud is arguably the hottest storyline leading up to WWE SummerSlam next week. The company may have provided several signs to the potential winner.
WWE SummerSlam 2024 is shaping up to be one of its greatest editions yet and will feature Drew McIntyre facing off against CM Punk with Seth Rollins as the special guest referee. Considering the buildup, the bout could go either way. However, there are a few signs why The Scottish Warrior will stand tall and put an end to this ongoing saga.
Without further ado, let's look at those indications.
#4. Repeated losses
Drew McIntyre is undoubtedly in contention for being the superstar of the year. He won the Elimination Chamber, dethroned Seth Rollins, and also won the Money in the Bank contract.
However, he quickly lost his World Heavyweight Championship, his title match at Clash at the Castle: Scotland, and his Money in the Bank contract, thanks to The Best in the World. All these losses could lead to a final redemption at WWE SummerSlam where Drew could finally put his rival to sleep.
While the multi-time world champion is portrayed as a heel, he deserves redemption at the upcoming premium live event.
#3. The strong "bad guy"
The rivalry leading up to WWE SummerSlam has had its twists and turns, but one thing is constant - a strong portrayal of The Scottish Warrior.
Drew McIntyre defeated Seth Rollins without any shenanigans, won the Money in The Bank ladder match in a dominant fashion, and almost defeated Damian Preist at Clash at the Castle: Scotland. He also brutally assaulted CM Punk in Chicago, indicating a clear strength difference.
Considering McIntyre didn't have to rely on low blows or dirty tactics, his dominance may continue at The Biggest Party of the Summer.
#2. Does Drew McIntyre have other goals after WWE SummerSlam?
While Drew McIntyre has continued to feud with CM Punk, that hasn't been his only focus area. He has also been trying to win the World Heavyweight Championship since the start of the year and came close to winning it back on multiple occasions.
It can be said that Punk has been an obstacle in Drew's quest to become the world champion. If he plans to continue the quest, he could pick up the victory and end the saga at WWE SummerSlam. He could then feud with Damian Priest or Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship.
#1. CM Punk has another problem
The war between the Scottish Warrior and The Best in The World could have had a clear winner at WWE SummerSlam, but Adam Pearce decided to add a major twist. Seth Rollins being the special guest referee will likely impact the result of the match.
A few weeks ago, Seth Rollins clarified he plans to take revenge on CM Punk for interfering in his business at Money in the Bank. He certainly hates both competitors, but at this point, he may dislike The Voice of The Voiceless more than anybody. Karma could hit back and The Visionary could help his WrestleMania 40 opponent to pick up the victory at The Biggest Event of the Summer.
This scenario could rekindle the anticipated feud between Rollins and Punk that was originally supposed to culminate at WrestleMania 40.
