Did CM Punk and Drew McIntyre really get injured at WWE Bad Blood? True extent of their issues disclosed
Drew McIntyre and CM Punk's match last night displayed the true essence of the meaning of Bad Blood. Their match had drama, intense hatred, and unmatched physicality, and both got busted open. While many fans are worried about their well-being, we have a few updates.
Both superstars got busted open last night. However, according to reports, CM Punk hasn't suffered any injuries. The Second City Saint collapsed after the bout and was seen using an oxygen mask. However, that was only to sell the intensity of his match inside Hell in a Cell.
As for Drew McIntyre, he genuinely got injured during the match. PWInsider reported that The Scottish Warrior required 16 staples on his head to close the wounds. The former WWE Champion was busted open when CM Punk struck him with a toolbox.
Both superstars left everything in the ring last night. They proved the real power of storytelling doesn't need a Championship and can be done with a small bracelet and a lot of emotion. This match last night most likely looks like the endgame of the McIntyre-Punk rivalry.
What could be next for Drew McIntyre?
The Scottish Warrior's match with CM Punk inside Hell in a Cell seems to be the curtain raiser on this feud. If this is the case, what could be next for the former WWE Champion?
There were rumors a few months ago that WWE was planning to put Drew McIntyre in a storyline against The Wyatt Sicks. However, we haven't seen any signs of it yet. Given the staples to his head, the company could give him a break until the end of the Crown Jewel Premium Live Event.
Post that PLE, Drew McIntyre could return and fight for the World Heavyweight Championship. The Scottish Warrior won the World Heavyweight title at WrestleMania XL but quickly lost it to Money in the Bank holder Damian Priest.
Since then, McIntyre has had a couple of shots at the World title. However, he was screwed out of it by CM Punk. The end of this rivalry could mean McIntyre could go behind the biggest prize on Monday Night RAW.
His rivalry with Gunther could be a great one. With two of the most intense superstars, this rivalry could be one of the most heavy-hitting storylines in modern history.
