The highly anticipated match between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre at WWE SummerSlam 2024 ended with McIntyre emerging victorious after exploiting Punk's distraction over a stolen bracelet. The feud, which has captivated fans due to its personal nature rather than championship stakes, dates back to a triceps injury Punk sustained from McIntyre at the Royal Rumble and subsequent sabotages by Punk. Seth Rollins, serving as the special guest referee, also became entangled in the conflict, suggesting future tensions. Despite criticism of the feud's prolonged build-up, it has maintained fan interest through robust storytelling and intense personal rivalries. Punk's return to WWE and his past issues with AEW, including a backstage altercation with Jack Perry, further add layers to the storyline, making it one of wrestling's most compelling narratives.
