Since CM Punk returned to WWE, many superstars opposed the return of the Chicago-based star. But one of the most intense confrontations he had was with Drew McIntyre. The Scottish Warrior seemed to have a special intention of seeing Punk fall. After the battle royale, it was revealed that the Chicago native had torn his triceps because of a move he performed on Drew McIntyre. The Scot boasted about having left Punk out of the game for several months. And now he has taken another shot at Punk. McIntyre said that while the doctors believe he should not fight at WrestleMania, no injury can stop him from fighting at the ‘Showcase of the Immortals’. He then takes a jibe at Punk for not fighting and being sidelined, unlike the Scottish Warrior. He says, “Who do you think I am? CM Punk?”
