Drew McIntyre Ruthlessly Mocks CM Punk After Seth Rollins' Shocking Money in the Bank Cash-In at SummerSlam 2025
Images via WWE: Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins, Cathy Kelly and CM Punk People say revenge is a dish best served cold, but sometimes, one doesn't even need to be directly involved to savor it. Just ask Drew McIntyre. At SummerSlam 2025, CM Punk defeated Gunther in an instant classic to capture the World Heavyweight Championship in the main event of Night One. But before he could celebrate, Seth Rollins made a shocking return, faking a knee injury all along and then cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase to steal the title and close the night in stunning fashion. And watching it all unfold from afar was 'The Scottish Psychopath', who seemed to relish every second of Punk's heartbreak. For McIntyre, seeing his former rival's dream crumble was a satisfying moment of revenge, and that too without ever lifting a finger. Drew McIntyre Labels CM Punk's SummerSlam Heartbreak as 'Karma' During the SummerSlam post-show, Cathy Kelley caught up with a very satisfied Drew McIntyre, who couldn't hide the grin on his face as he reacted to CM Punk's crushing loss. "Okay, I'm gonna have to say something about this. Karma's a hell of a thing. I've been watching what's gone on Raw with Seth (Rollins). Seth and I, professional rivals. Not like (CM) Punk and I. Seth has done exactly to Punk what Punk did to me, and tonight was the cherry on top. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Moose Approaches Girl At Bus Stop In Ba Ria-vung Tau - Watch What Happens Happy in Shape Undo Congratulations Seth. You deserve it, and karma is indeed a biatch." For the unversed, just rewind to WrestleMania 40. It was the night that McIntyre captured the World Heavyweight title from Rollins in a brutal encounter. In addition, an injured Punk served as the special commentator for the bout. And after his victory, the Scot tried to get in Punk's face and mock him. However, that proved to be a big mistake as Punk attacked McIntyre, which led Damian Priest to cash in his Money in the Bank contract and end McIntyre's reign in under 6 minutes at The Show of Shows. Punk and the Scot then went on to have a trilogy of matches in one of the most personal rivalries in recent memory. Drew McIntyre Finally Wins Big at SummerSlam 2025 Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul scored a big win on Night 1 of WWE SummerSlam, defeating country music star Jelly Roll and future WWE Hall of Famer Randy Orton in a high-energy tag team match on Saturday. The bout delivered several highlight-reel moments, none bigger than when Paul launched himself off the top turnbuckle and crashed through the announce table onto Jelly Roll, drawing a huge reaction from the crowd. Jelly Roll held his own, though, delivering back-to-back clotheslines and a thunderous chokeslam to the social media star.

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. After being legitimately stranded in the United Kingdom for several days, Drew McIntyre has successfully returned to the United States. His status for this weekend's SummerSlam premium live event is no longer in jeopardy. The former WWE Champion announced the good news on his social media accounts. He had been stuck overseas due to a passport issue after traveling to England for a friend's wedding. The Crisis Is Over In a new video posted to his X account, McIntyre confirmed he was back on U.S. soil. In the clip, he also humorously brushed off an offer from The Miz, who had proposed taking his place in the SummerSlam match. McIntyre then joked that his tag team partner, Logan Paul, had flown over in a private jet to collect him. The update brings an end to a tense, real-life situation. Reports from both PWInsider and Fightful Select had confirmed that McIntyre's travel problem was legitimate and that WWE had begun producing "alternate plans" for the SummerSlam match in case he did not make it back in time.

He used the legitimate and stressful travel problem as an opportunity to cut promos, staying in character and blaming his SummerSlam opponent, Jelly Roll, for the "sabotage." This is a perfect example of his current, bitter heel persona, where he believes the world is conspiring against him. CLEVELAND, OHIO - AUGUST 03: (Editors Note: Composite Image.)

Top WWE Superstar In Major Jeopardy Of Missing SummerSlam
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. With WWE SummerSlam less than a week away, Drew McIntyre is legitimately stranded in the United Kingdom due to a passport issue. While the situation is a real-life travel problem, the former WWE Champion is masterfully using it to fuel his on-screen rivalry with his SummerSlam opponent, the musician Jelly Roll. According to a new report from Fightful Select, the situation is a legitimate issue that WWE is working to resolve. McIntyre was in the UK to attend a friend's wedding over the weekend. Why am I stranded? Why am I cutting a promo with cows? There's now a good chance I don't make #SummerSlam — Drew (@DMcIntyreWWE) July 27, 2025 The Travel WWE Nightmare In a video posted to his social media accounts on Monday, Drew McIntyre revealed that he was denied boarding for his flight back to the United States. He explained that he did not have his U.S. passport with him, only his UK one. "He then accused Jelly Roll of having connections, causing him to be unable to leave the UK, which screws up his training for SummerSlam," McIntyre said in his in-character promo. He finished by threatening his opponent, showing a picture of a cow to represent what he plans to do to Jelly Roll. Fightful's report confirmed this is an "actual situation as opposed to a gimmick." While WWE sources are confident the issue will be rectified, it is an unexpected headache for one of their top stars days before a major event. McIntyre's decision to stay in character and use a real-life frustration to cut a promo on his opponent is a perfect example of his current persona. In recent years, he has evolved into a bitter, social media-savvy heel who feels he is "justified" in his actions and often blames others for his problems.
