A top WWE star has credited CM Punk for not getting “boo boo face” during their intense 2024 feud in the ring and online.
Drew McIntyre and CM Punk’s WWE feud, which the company ranked as its best for 2024, spanned almost the entirety of the year without losing fan interest, an impressive feat given Punk’s inactivity due to injury for much of the year.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, Drew McIntyre spoke about his experience working with CM Punk over the past year, discussing the “genuine disdain” they have for one another and how that aided their program.
McIntyre said:
“With the Punk process, having so much real feeling, so much material, and not just my ideas… obviously creative are just absolutely on fire, and with Hunter leading the charges, setting these awesome shots up for me, all I have to do is put it in the back of the net.
“It was an interesting and fun process, and it’s better than any therapy in the world. I don’t need a therapist to talk to, I’ve got a microphone every week, because you see some of the stuff I say, especially these days, even talking about my my personal tragedies and the likes I sounded out on TV. And during the Punk stuff, I was sounding out a lot of feelings when he came back eventually and started saying his piece.
“As much as we have certain feelings towards each other, we both are aware we’ve got certain magic with each other. It’s a tale as old as time. The more people have a genuine disdain for each other, people can truly feel it.
“And if you’re actually good at your job, like we are, it does create magic. And the whole process was magic, and the cell itself was a match that we talked about forever.
Despite their issues, McIntyre gave Punk credit for taking all of his barbs on the chin, saying:
“I will say, however my feelings are towards him, I went completely gangbusters for him. I didn’t hold back. On TV, I can only go so far, but, on social, but it’s my social. You can’t tell me what to do. I went overboard. And the company could have asked me to pull back if they wanted me to, and I’d have said, ‘No, it’s my social’.
“But I went at him and went at him. And I’ve done that with a couple of people, and they have got a boo boo face. Not that I care, but he didn’t. He ate it like a man, and then came back with what he had to say. So I’ll give him that.
Elsewhere in the interview, McIntyre elaborated on his backstage interaction caught during the WWE Raw on Netflix premiere on The Rock’s Instagram Live.
