Drew McIntyre’s anger is ‘broader’ than CM Punk’s WWE return at Survivor Series

The 2023 Survivor Series: WarGames has been a great show, and the memorable moments it made had never left the eyes of WWE fans. Especially the final moments of the Men’s WarGames Match, Randy Orton and CM Punk’s return. However, the one thing you might have missed is Drew McIntyre left the arena and went backstage with anger before CM Punk’s return came through.

It caught the attention of some wrestling fans, which went viral on the internet and they said that he is not happy to see Punk coming here again and that was the reason for his absence. However, McIntyre denied it and gave the real explanation on who he is angry on.

Drew McIntyre's anger not related to CM Punk

During WWE Live Event in Peoria, Illinois on November 26, 2023, Drew McIntyre appeared on the big screen and said that he left the building only due to the frustration of losses at Payback and at Survivor Series. He said that the internet things were not related and it is broader than Punk’s return. Drew McIntyre then cut a promo of the match he had later the same night against Seth Rollins and Shinsuke Nakamura for the World Heavyweight Championship, in which Rollins retained. 

“I didn’t win the world title match recently. WarGames last night, stupid team lost the match for me. You’ve heard things probably on the internet. Not in a great place, but there’s one thing that can turn this frown upside down, that can change things for me. It’s getting that world title. I don’t think of anywhere better than for Big D to finally win his first world title in front of live fans than right here in Peoria, Illinois.

“Got a game plan. I’ve always got a game plan. I’m gonna take Shin’s head, I’m gonna kick it like a field goal. I’ve been learning a lot about American football recently. Seth, I’m gonna break his back, make him humble, kick his arse, and take that world title. Then we’re gonna have an afterparty. It’s gonna be huge. If you’re over 21, get out on the town, buy Big Mac a shot. Big Mac, that’s me. Buy me a shot because we’re partying all night long.”
