CM Punk and Drew McIntyre’s feud continues to heat up on WWE Raw! Last week, Punk took a dig at McIntyre, referencing his past altercation with another wrestler (Jack Perry) outside of WWE (AEW).
This on-air mention of another wrestling company raised eyebrows for some fans. However, former WWE wrestler Nic Nemeth doesn’t see it as a big deal.
Former WWE Star Weighs In
On a wrestling podcast, Nemeth explained that Punk’s comments were a minor jab and perfectly acceptable. He added that such references can be tricky, but if done well, they can help WWE fans understand Punk’s past outside the company.
Nemeth enjoys these subtle references as long as they work for the audience. He compared it to a wrestler making an unauthorized joke and facing consequences if it backfires.
Ultimately, Nemeth believes Punk and McIntyre are both doing a great job with their promos, keeping the audience engaged with their risky but effective barbs.
Will this war of words escalate into a physical confrontation? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure: CM Punk and Drew McIntyre are guaranteed to keep WWE fans on the edge of their seats.
