The WWE Universe witnessed one of the most intense rivalries of 2024 between Drew McIntyre and CM Punk. WWE even listed it as the best feud of the year, surpassing The Bloodline’s battle for the title of Tribal Chief.
Throughout their segments, fans saw countless heated exchanges—both in words and in action. But one unforgettable moment happened on March 24 last year. During that face-off, Drew McIntyre seemed ready to fire back at CM Punk but suddenly held himself back.
Now, almost a year later, McIntyre has finally revealed what was going through his mind at that very moment. On that night, CM Punk and Drew McIntyre had an intense promo battle. McIntyre interrupted Punk in his hometown of Chicago and made comments about Punk’s injury, saying he would miss WrestleMania.
When McIntyre mentioned being “The Chosen One,” Punk quickly fired back with, “Who chose you? What was his name?” But McIntyre stayed quiet, and fans realized Punk was referencing Vince McMahon, who called McIntyre “The Chosen One” in 2009.
