Veteran Predicts 2-Time WWE Champion Will Interfere in CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre at SummerSlam

3 months ago By Jhon Woug

With the SummerSlam approaching closer, the WWE Universe is all shining up, while one of the biggest discussions related to this event is the match between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre. Adding more fuel, a wrestling veteran went on to predict that a two-time WWE Champion will get involved in this huge match. This article covers the possible effects of this interference on the background of the match itself and what all this means for the concerned superstars and WWE at large.

Background: The Return of CM Punk and Drew McIntyre’s Resurrection

It would be fair to describe CM Punk’s comeback to WWE after his seven-year departure as one of the greatest shows in the history of wrestling. He was back with a great ovation to ignite the conflagration against WWE that, in turn, raised back sparks in us—the audience. His promos and in-ring performances have reminded fans why he is considered one of the best in the business.

On the flip side, Drew McIntyre’s career has been a roller coaster—from being the “Chosen One” in the early days to his eventually released and triumphant return, his journey has been defined by resilient hard work on display. His reign during the pandemic era as WWE Champion proved he had standing metal for which to carry a company on his back. Now, McIntyre will look to re-enter the conversation of top contenders and solidify his legacy.
The Game: High Stakes and High Drama

The potential match between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre may be one of the more highly anticipated ones for a variety of reasons:

  1. Style Clash:

Punk’s technical mastery and razor wit pitted against the sheer force and never-say-die stance of McIntyre will make for an awfully good collision. Their styles are just within enough difference to make a very interesting matchup showcase at SummerSlam.

  1. Personal Histories
    Both superstars are rich names with basic personalities. Punk returns for unfinished business and to reprove himself, while McIntyre is driven by the desire to reclaim the top spot in WWE.
  2. Fan Investment:
    The fans seem highly invested in both characters, with Punk’s rebellious nature and McIntyre’s struggle toward redemption speaking highly to them. This match is a must-see.

A Veteran’s Prediction: 2 Time WWE Champion Run-in
This is likely to make what is already an attention-engrossing fight even more interesting, with the veteran wrestler predicting it could involve a 2-time WWE Champion. Even though the veteran did not mention the name of that champion, there certainly are a couple of them who could fit into that description and bring about a great influence on the entire storyline.
Seth Rollins:

Rollins has had history with both Punk and McIntyre. Add in he’s somewhat of a wildcard himself and vying for a stake in most big storylines brings the chances way up. Rollins’ contribution might rekindle old rivalries and set up newer ones — OLD.

  1. The Miz:
    Ever the crafty and opportunistic individual, the 2-time WWE Champion will probably not hesitate to disrupt the match. His background with both superstars and his need to stay relevant all make him a likely contender.
  2. Bobby Lash
    With Lashley’s recent dominance and multiple championship reigns, he’s only a major threat in WWE at this point. This match will interfere in the record books, serving their strategic move in staking a claim and setting up future feuds with Punk and McIntyre.
  3. AJ Styles:
    Styles’s incredible in-ring ability and past accolades as a 2-time WWE Champion make him a believable and enthralling option for interference; his presence could help the storyline get to a different level. This, of course, would only be added upon having him either aligned with or in the corner, so to speak, of one of the combatants.

Potential Influence of the Jamming
Most significantly, interference in this CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre match from a 2-time WWE Champion could spell out a number of things :

  1. Plot Development:

The interference would immediately open up new storyline possibilities, including alliances, rivalries, and a multi-man feud.

  1. Raising the Stakes
    Bringing in another high-profile superstar will just add more spice to this to make the match that much better and heighten its drama. This will ensure that the match’s result remains elusive and keep the viewers on the edges of their seats.
  2. Character Arcs:
    This could mean big things for story developments in terms of character for Punk, McIntyre, and the champion who gets involved. This really opens things up for further character development, maybe redemption, or falling into even deeper villainy.
  3. Engagement with Fans
    Surprise elements like these have been known to get fans engaged. Such a main event star interfering out of nowhere could create a lot of buzz, increase viewership, and raise the excitement level of the event.

Probable Scenarios Post-
Several things can happen based on who intervenes, how intervention is carried out:

  1. Setting Up Future Matches:

The interference was probably for a set-up of a feud with the three superstars in the future, with high stakes. It can lead to main event-level matches at upcoming pay-per-views, either in a triple threat or a grudge match.

  1. Alliances:
    The interfering champion could throw his lot in with either Punk or McIntyre to create a powerful new alliance. This could change the dynamics within the WWE and create new story possibilities.
  2. Growing Competition:
    The interference could escalate existing rivalries or create purported ones. For example, if it’s Rollins, it could overheat the heat he had against Punk in the past or intensify a thing with McIntyre.
  3. Changing Power Dynamics
    This would also serve as an interference that may shift the whole power game inside WWE. A strong champion like Lashley or Styles inserting themselves into the feud now would possibly show shifting grounds and set in place new title pursuits.

The Historical Context: Most Notorious Interferences In WWE History

In the end, when one looks back at WWE history, interferences at big matches have over and over again created a memory and set up major storylines. A few examples these are:

  1. The Undertaker Interfering at SummerSlam

When The Undertaker made a surprise interference in CM Punk’s title match, in what was a night-time battle royale against the unstoppable Jeff Hardy for the World Heavyweight Championship, it gave Punk’s title reign a new lease on life and built up an orchestrated feud with The Undertaker.

  1. Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 28:

Michaels added many layers of flair and emotion as the special guest referee in the match that pitted The Undertaker against Triple H, which worked wonders and was consequential in affecting and becoming the storyline result.

  1. Seth Rollins’ Cash-In at WrestleMan

Rollins’ Money in the Bank cash-in during the Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns match is considered one of the greatest moments in WrestleMania history, solidifying him as a top star.

  1. The Rock at Royal Rumble 2015:

While this was ideally meant to endear Reigns to the fans, mixed representations followed The Rock’s interference in ensuring Reigns emerged the winner of the Royal Rumble, a clear sign that fans’ reactions to interference are unpredictably determined.

Fan Reactions And Speculations

The predictions of this wrestling veteran spur a million fans into reactions and speculations. Here are some key discussion points:

  1. Potential Interferers:

And fans can’t wait to start guessing who that 2-time WWE Champion might be. Seth Rollins, The Miz, Bobby Lashley, and AJ Styles have been some of the most common names bantered around, bringing back multiple possibilities from most fans.

  1. Result or Outcome

The speculation has also dredged up debates about how the match would play out. Will this lead to a no-contest, a controversial win, or pave the way for a rematch? 3. Future Storylines Fans are waiting on the edge to see new storylines that this could bring into play. Including a large star foreshadows unexpected alliances, betrayals, and rivalries.

  1. Effects to Characters
    Talks also continue about how the interference in the life of CM Punk and Drew McIntyre will affect their characters in the future: Will this be a heel or face turn, or are they developed into something better as a part of their character development?

The Path Forward for CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, and the Interfering Champion
No matter how the interference crashes out, the future of CM Punk and Drew McIntyre, along with the interfering champion from here, is beaming with potential:

  1. CM Punk
    Punk’s return to WWE is indeed a story on its own. Now, this will all depend on the interference, through which Punk may find himself getting a feud against the interfering champion and that would give another layer to his comeback story; his journey would involve overcoming new obstacles and re-establishing himself as a top contender.
  2. Drew McIntyre
    The interference will certainly take McIntyre’s chase to the top of WWE in a different light. This altercation with the interfering champion would still see quite the character turn for McIntyre, but we’d see it from a much different light with him.
  3. The interferer champion
    As for the 2-time WWE Champion they predicted would interfere, this is their opportunity to reassert their dominance and become one of the major players in the WWE storylines. His action at SummerSlam can match him with huge rivalries and championship pursuits.

Conclusion
There’s still so much to get excited about in terms of this night being one of the most anticipated Pay-Per-Views of the year: the 2-time WWE Champion predicting his interference in CM Punk versus Drew McIntyre at this year’s showdown at SummerSlam. If he truly decides to do so, this cannot be a good development for all superstars involved and WWE as the overall wrestling promotion itself, with so many creative opportunities newly emerged to create fresh storylines and fan engagement. SummerSlam approaches ever closer, a development the WWE Universe will undoubtedly keep a closer eye on. The success of the storyline will fall to WWE’s execution and if CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, and whatever champion interferes can deliver. Perhaps this is such a moment that would come to influence everybody’s career and consequently the world of WWE programming forever; it will light the torch that will leave other rivalries and matches in its train. Fans are in for a great SummerSlam, reason enough to make surprises and shocks definitely make their way down to this wrestling history.
