Speaking as a guest on the Pat McAfee Show, Drew McIntyre confirmed he was working through an injury during the recent WWE European tour.
Comparing his recent schedule following the injury to that of CM Punk, McIntyre said:
You know what happened at Mania when [CM Punk] attacked me from behind and swept my legs out? He fractured my elbow. Broken bones in it. You know what I did the next day? I wrestled in a four-way match, and I would have won if it wasn’t for CM Punk. I’ve been taping up every week.
I did a European tour where I wrestled Jey Uso every single night. He’s sitting on his couch, collecting his big paycheck, thinking he can kiss corporate arse and keep cashing those checks while I’m putting in work. Why is the bad guy? Who is the delusional one? Who is the hypocrite?
The two have been trading verbal barbs since shortly after Punk returned to WWE at the 2023 Survivor Series PLE.
Punk sustained an injury of his own at the Royal Rumble, with both men still appearing on television in different capacities.
