Drew McIntyre has faced many tough challenges in
WWE
, but his intense rivalry with CM Punk in 2024 pushed him further than ever before. Their story was more than just a feud, it was a war that lasted almost a year, ending in one of the most unforgettable Hell in a Cell matches in recent memory.
The match took place at WWE Bad Blood and left McIntyre not only physically hurt but also emotionally changed.
What made this match special was the level of danger McIntyre was willing to face. One moment shocked everyone when he fell back-first onto the steel steps. Now, McIntyre has spoken about it and made it clear he'll never try something like that again.
Hell in a Cell showdown changed everything
The McIntyre vs. Punk feud started at SummerSlam 2024 and ended at Bad Blood inside Hell in a Cell.
The match was full of drama, and emotion.
Drew McIntyre
got 16 staples in his head by the end of it. Still, he said the steel step bump was much worse than the head injury.
Speaking on the Gorilla Position podcast, McIntyre explained the scary moment when he landed on the steps. He said he tried to do it as safely as he could, and thankfully, it worked. But it is not something he will ever risk again.

It's the risk for that match, for that moment, and I knew in the moment… this is the match I've been looking for in my whole life.'
He shared how this was a dream match for him, one that reminded him of the kind of wrestling he loved growing up.
'As a kid, I used to always love those final blowoff matches. You know, the Triple H vs. Mick Foley kind of matches... just the bloodbaths, the war. And afterwards, like, my God, I'll always remember this.'
Drew McIntyre's most dangerous decision yet
McIntyre knew the bump looked amazing for fans watching, but it could have gone badly. He landed directly on his lower back, and it could have caused serious damage.
'So for that match, I was willing to do something, yeah, a bit stupid, but it came off. It went as good as it can, considering it was legitimately my lower back I landed on.'
Even though it was risky, he believed it was the right thing for that moment.
'It's a one-and-done, will never be done again and that match will live forever.'

Hell in a Cell match between McIntyre with
CM Punk
was one of the biggest moments of his career. It was risky and unforgettable. While the steel step bump left a mark on his body, it also became a memory that he and his fans will never forget.
