The Scottish Warrior will face CM Punk at SummerSlam 2024

Seth Rollins kicked off WWE RAW to announce the rules and regulations for the CM Punk vs Drew McIntyre match scheduled for WWE SummerSlam 2024.

Rollins called both the stars calling them “morons” in the ring. CM Punk was the first to enter then came McIntyre behind him. As both men came face-to-face, Rollins stopped both men adding rules to their match.

As things started getting interesting Drew McIntyre cut an intense promo where he said to Punk, “I won’t stop until your heart does. You wanna know the best thing about it, as in Cleveland it’s in a stadium, I’m gonna get paid so much money to do something I would do for free.”

McIntyre even compared CM Punk to serial killer Charles Manson making his life a hell. But, today our main objective is to find out what McIntyre meant by saying, “I’m gonna get paid so much money”.

What did Drew McIntyre mean to say?

After signing his new contract with WWE earlier this year, one thing is confirmed Drew McIntyre is one of the highest-paid WWE wrestlers if not the highest-paid. McIntyre is going to be part of WWE till 2027 which is confirmed.

But what did McIntyre mean by getting paid? So, in WWE wrestlers are not paid for winning or losing, they are paid for their brand value. For example, consider someone like Akira Tozawa to McIntyre, he won’t be getting paid a hefty amount.

But, WWE pays heavily to their top wrestlers, including percentages from merchandise sales and PPV buys. So, what McIntyre meant was he would be getting paid a hefty amount of money to beat up Punk which he would have done for “free”.

Drew McIntyre vs CM Punk set for WWE SummerSlam

At SummerSlam, CM Punk will face Drew McIntyre one-on-one, with Seth “Freakin” Rollins serving as Special Guest Referee. Punk’s return to WWE did not sit well with McIntyre or Rollins. When Punk was wounded in the 2024 Royal Rumble Match, McIntyre said he wished for it to happen and taunted The Second City Saint for being out of action. His deeds, however, would result in repercussions.

At WrestleMania XL, Punk served as a guest commentator for McIntyre’s World Heavyweight Championship match against Rollins. After Drew won the championship, a post-match brawl between him and Punk helped cut McIntyre’s reign short, paving the way for Damian Priest to cash in his Money in the Bank contract and defeat McIntyre to become the next World Heavyweight Champion.

Punk attacked again the following Monday night, costing McIntyre a championship shot in a No. 1 Contender’s Match on Raw, and also interfering in McIntyre’s World Heavyweight Championship match against Priest at WWE Clash at the Castle.

An enraged McIntyre responded by claiming to quit WWE before unleashing a violent beatdown on SmackDown, taking a bracelet representing Punk’s love for his wife and dog in the process.

McIntyre won the Money in the Bank Ladder contest and entered the World Heavyweight Title Match against Priest and Rollins on the same night, but Punk cost him the contest once more. Rollins was enraged with Punk in the aftermath, claiming that Punk’s hostility against McIntyre lost him a chance to win the championship.

With Punk finally medically cleared, who will win the highly anticipated bout between The Second City Saint and The Scottish Warrior, with The Visionary serving as Special Guest Referee?
