Legend picks a winner between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre at WWE Bad Blood (Exclusive)
CM Punk and Drew McIntyre's feud is expected to end on October 5 when they meet inside Hell in a Cell at WWE Bad Blood. Dutch Mantell, formerly known as Zeb Colter in WWE, recently gave his thoughts on the possible match outcome.
On August 3, McIntyre defeated Punk at SummerSlam in a match officiated by Seth Rollins. The two men met again in a Strap Match at Bash in Berlin on August 31, with The Best in the World securing the win.
Mantell told host Rick Ucchino on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk that he thinks Punk will win the final match between the bitter enemies:
"I think CM Punk gets his hand raised, but they have been booking this match, CM Punk and his opponent [laughs]. I can't remember nobody's name, anyway. I bet they book this 30 times, back and forth, back and forth, late-night phone calls. 'What do you think about this, this, this, this?' But I think CM Punk wins it, and where else can they go with this [besides Punk winning]?" [8:47 – 9:31]
Watch the video above to hear Mantell's prediction for Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa.
Dutch Mantell on Drew McIntyre's reaction if he loses to CM Punk
In 2020, Drew McIntyre lost the WWE Championship to Randy Orton in a Hell in a Cell Match. A year later, he unsuccessfully challenged Bobby Lashley for the same title inside the steel structure.
Dutch Mantell does not think McIntyre will care if he loses to CM Punk and suffers a third Hell in a Cell defeat in a row:
"He looks at that check every two weeks, he don't give a s**t whether he's 0 and 20. That money stays the same." [11:01 – 11:10]
McIntyre recently spoke to Sportskeeda Wrestling Senior Editor Bill Apter about his storyline with Punk. Addressing their real-life animosity, The Scottish Warrior said he has "mountains of evidence" that proves his rival is a "hypocrite" and a "liar."
