Folks, weâve got a BIG one coming up at WWE Bash in Berlinâa match so intense it might just shake the Brandenburg Gate! CM Punk, the Straight-Edge Superstar himself, has thrown down the gauntlet for a Strap Match against the Scottish Warrior, Drew McIntyre. Thatâs right, folksâthis is going to be one for the history books.
Letâs set the stage. Just last week, Punk took matters into his own handsâliterallyâby whipping McIntyre with his own belt on “WWE Raw.” Classic Punk, folks. He then strutted into the ring in Ft. Lauderdale with a leather strap in hand, announcing to the crowd that he had a little chat with “Raw” GM Adam Pearce. Unless McIntyre had a problem with itâand let’s be honest, he doesnât have the guts to back outâthis showdown in Berlin is set to be a Strap Match. And just like that, folks, the match was ON.
Drew McIntyre, never one to shy away from a challenge (or a kilt, for that matter), stormed out to the stage and accepted Punkâs challenge without hesitation. But Drew, clearly a man with some pent-up aggression, wanted to throw hands right then and there! However, a little stroll down memory lane, recalling their previous encounters and Punkâs, letâs say, tactics, made him think twice. Punk, ever the cunning wordsmith, offered Drew the strap if heâd return a certain bracelet he swipedâonly for Drew to refuse. And hereâs the kicker, folks: McIntyre took a jab at Punkâs personal life, referencing AJ Lee and Punkâs dog, Larry, suggesting they were happier with him. Ouch! Thatâs below the beltâeven in a Strap Match!
The segment ended with Punk delivering a chilling line: âYou should be worried about being attached to me, not the other way around.â Spooky stuff, folks. You could feel the tension in the airâthicker than any smoke-filled room in Washington!
Now, letâs talk stats. Punk is no stranger to strap-based beatdowns. He famously conquered Umaga in a Samoan Strap Match back in 2009 and went on to have an epic Dog Collar match with MJF in 2022. Drew, on the other hand, has a bit of a sore spot when it comes to Strap Matches, having lost to Karrion Kross at Extreme Rules 2022. But this is a new day, folksâa new city, a new match, and let me tell you, the stakes couldnât be higher.
In Berlin, weâre not just going to see a matchâweâre going to see a battle, a war, a clash of titans! Punk vs. McIntyre in a Strap Match? Itâs going to be BIG, folks. Believe me.
