CM Punk has legitimate heat with 39-year-old WWE Superstar, claims veteran (Exclusive)
CM Punk is not exactly the most easy-going superstar in WWE, which sometimes leads to real-life feuds with his colleagues. According to a veteran, Punk may be in a similar situation currently, leading into Bad Blood PLE.
The Second City Saint is slated against Drew McIntyre at the upcoming event, with the match having the Hell in a Cell stipulation. As fans have come to expect from the two stars and their intense rivalry, the bout will surely be a barnburner in terms of no-holds-barred violence. While this feud seems to be a well-put-together on-screen storyline, Dutch Mantell believes things may be more real than most imagine.
Speaking on Sportskeeda's SmackTalk, the WWE veteran speculated that Punk and the 39-year-old star may have some heat between them. He stated:
"I think there is some legit heat there, down below the surface. But hey, they gotta make a living. They gotta make... But that's even good for business when the fans can say, 'you know, really down deep, they f****ng hate each other.'" [5:06 onwards]
The WWE veteran thinks CM Punk's match should not be the main event
While there is a lot of hype going into the Hell in a Cell bout, Dutch Mantell believes that Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes should close the night with their match.
On the same episode of SmackTalk, the WWE veteran stated that Roman and Cody's tag match against the Bloodline would be the perfect main event, ending the show on a high note:
"Tag match. Totally, totally. Because I think that they need to close it on a high note, and I think that will close it on a high note. I think Cody and Roman, of course, have to go over; I mean, they don't have to. But I mean them getting beat at this point, it doesn't... The angle is shot, so just put them over, and everybody's happy, and now Roman and Cody can do their looking around and (mimics grunting) their nose twitching up thing."
As of now, it remains to be seen how Punk plans to take down Drew McIntyre for good.
