Drew McIntyre and CM Punk have delivered a show-stealing rivalry throughout the year, filled with intense matches and fiery exchanges. During their feud, The Best in the World boldly claimed to be a better talker than McIntyre. However, in a twist of irony, Sports Illustrated recently named McIntyre the best wrestling talker of the year, prompting a hilarious response from him.
Taking to X, McIntyre shared a clip from Raw earlier this year where Punk had proclaimed himself the better talker. In response to being honored by Sports Illustrated, McIntyre accompanied the clip with a sinister smile, mocking The Best in the World. He capped off his post with a defiant gesture, flipping off Punk, symbolizing his triumph in their ongoing psychological warfare.
Although McIntyre and Punk have concluded their historic feud, the two continue to exchange subtle jabs through remarks and gestures. It appears The Scottish Warrior is still not over the fact that The Second City Saint emerged victorious in their epic saga. Fans are now eager to see if the former AEW star will respond to McIntyre’s latest dig in the future.

Drew McIntyre comments on the existence of AEW and other promotions in professional wrestling
AEW has quickly established itself as one of the biggest promotions of the last decade. In just five years, the company has made a significant impact on professional wrestling. Recently, Drew McIntyre shared his thoughts on the presence of AEW and other promotions in the world of pro wrestling.
During a TikTok Live, McIntyre praised the incredible growth of the independent wrestling scene in recent years. He highlighted how such promotions contribute to the development of professional wrestling by offering more opportunities to talent worldwide. The 39-year-old specifically mentioned AEW, NJPW, and Impact as key players in the global pro-wrestling landscape, alongside WWE.
You know, Impact, AEW, New Japan, the independent scene. And I’m just happy to see so many people that I’m friends with making a full-time living. That wasn’t the case when I was fired in 2014.
