New WWE Intercontinental Champion “Main Event” Jey Uso makes an appearance
WWE Intercontinental Champion “Main Event” Jey Uso enters through the crowd and has the crowd fired up. The ring has no LED ring posts or aprons tonight. The crowd gives him a huge ovation and chants, “You deserve it!” Uso soaks it all in. Uso says, “The Intercontinental Champion, ‘Main Event’ Jey Uso, is now in your city!” This is his first singles championship. He’ll fight every week for it and anyone who wants it. YEET! Uso looks taken aback and is pacing the ring. Uso thanks the crowd for having his back through all the years. He loves them. YEET!
Tonight, he got to come out to the ring with his son Jayce by his side. It was a hard road to get here. His family made it hard for him. Roman Reigns made it hard for him. His whole life, he was just a twin. His whole wrestling career, he was just a twin. They didn’t know him, but they know him now. Uso is very emotional here. His biggest fan is his mother. Uso removes his glasses. He spoke to his mom. She told him to go out there and show them who he is. She told him to go out there and get it. Uso got it. Uso says, “Momma, we did it.” Yeet.
Bron Breakker’s music hits, and the former WWE Intercontinental Champion makes his way to the ring. Breakker says he’s not here to spoil the fun or crash the party. Breakker is out here because of the respect he has for the championship. The lineage of the title goes back a long way. After battling it out with Uso last week, he’s also got the same respect for him. Breakker told the world a few weeks ago how much the title meant to him. The right superstar should walk out with the title. That night, Uso was the better man. Breakker won’t spear him or attack him. Breakker wanted to be the first one out as a competitor and colleague to congratulate him. Breakker extends his hand, and Uso looks unsure. Uso thinks about it, and they shake hands.
Breakker turns to leave the ring, but Uso stops him. Uso walks up to him and says there are some dogs in Indiana. The crowd barks, which makes Breakker smile. Breakker then walks off.

CM Punk and Drew McIntyre speak before their Hell in a Cell match at Bad Blood
Raw General Manager Adam Pearce is in the ring with several security guards. The Hell in a Cell structure surrounds them. Part of his professional responsibilities is the delivery of main events and special attractions. This Saturday at Bad Blood, he plans on delivering one hell of a special attraction. CM Punk and Drew McIntyre will go to war inside Hell in a Cell. After that match, it will be over. To get to Saturday, they have to make it through tonight. There will be no physical battle between Punk and McIntyre in Evansville. The crowd boos. Pearce has given them the opportunity to give one final shot in this bitter war.
CM Punk is introduced first. The Second City Saint looks like he’s in a trance as he slowly approaches the Hell in a Cell structure. Punk somberly reaches out, touches the cell’s steel wall, and enters the structure. Punk climbs briefly up the side of one of the walls before getting down. Punk gets in the ring and shakes hands with Pearce.
“The Scottish Warrior” Drew McIntyre is introduced next. McIntyre, with a stony look on his face, makes his way to the ring and enters the Hell in a Cell structure. Punk stares at his rival for the better part of 2024. Security guards stand between them.
Pearce asks if they have any last words. McIntyre says he’ll go first. A “CM Punk” chant picks up. McIntyre says Punk might be wondering why he’s wearing black. It’s not out of respect for Punk. McIntyre has zero respect for Punk. It’s out of respect for Punk’s wife. After Saturday, she’ll have to feed and bathe him. She’ll probably leave him. McIntyre says this is a tuxedo because he will be celebrating when he’s gone. Punk isn’t coming back this time. Punk has been back less than a year. He’s been injured for four months. Now, he’ll be gone for good. It’s all thanks to Drew McIntyre. The people have watched for ten months. Even after all the evidence, they still chant Punk’s name. Another “CM Punk” chant picks up. Roxanne Perez, the NXT Champion, idolized Punk. After spending some time with him, she changed her tune. McIntyre can see the hatred burning through Punk. Once upon a time, he was nothing but a blip on Punk’s radar. Punk hates him, and McIntyre hates Punk. McIntyre used to have no time for hate, but Punk taught him how to do it. Hate is a powerful weapon but dangerous in the long term. This Saturday, that hate will die with Punk.
McIntyre goes to leave, but he stops when he sees Punk take the microphone. Throughout his career, people have called him many things: “The Best in the World,” “The Second City Saint,” and “Voice of the Voiceless.” Tonight, Punk is voiceless. He has nothing to say to a piece of garbage like McIntyre except that he’s filled with so much rage when he looks at him. Punk can’t go home. Punk has been living in a hotel for four weeks because he cannot subject his wife to the man McIntyre has turned him into. McIntyre has turned him into the fictitious boogeyman that his harshest critics have labeled him. That’s who he needs to be on Saturday in Hell in a Cell to send McIntyre home to Scotland in a box. Punk wants McIntyre to remember and never forget that he prayed for all of this, and it happened. On Saturday, when he’s locked in the cell with Punk, and Punk has taken everything from him, he’ll be in a panic on his hands and knees. McIntyre will look up, and Punk will wipe the blood from his eyes to see him. McIntyre won’t be praying to God or the Devil. He’ll be praying to CM Punk. Punk says, “I will see you in hell!” McIntyre puts his head down before slowly looking up with fury.
