Drew McIntyre then contrasted his feuds with Seth Rollins and CM Punk, and how they were great rivalries, but were different in a lot of ways. 

“You know, Seth and I have always had, you know, great back and forth, great rivalry. It’s always been based on professional rivalry rather than personal rivalry. Like, who’s the better man? We both believe we should be the one leading the future of the industry,” he revealed.

Then McIntyre moved on to Punk, whose rivalry is as personal as it is professional, reiterating his utter dislike for the former AEW star. He stated that fans believe that his rivalry with Punk trumps any other rivalry he has had.

“That’s personal. We literally can’t stand each other. You know, we have to work together, let’s say, we would make it work. And because of that hatred we have of each other, because of our ability, I guess, we made it work,” he said. “And Punk was sitting on the shelf with his pathetic little muscles and bones that break all the time, and I was the one doing all the freaking work. And then he came back to work, then I went to the next level. But if you ask everyone else, that’d been the number one.”

Punk and McIntyre faced each other thrice at SummerSlam, Bash in Berlin, and Bad Blood, with the former winning two of the three matches.
