CM Punk screws Drew McIntyre again.

Damian Priest retained the WWE World Heavyweight Title at WWE Clash at the Castle, defeating Drew McIntyre in the main event with some help from CM Punk.

McIntyre seemingly had the match won after a Claymore Kick, but the referee was taken out of the bout. CM Punk ran down in an referee's shirt and counted two, but pulled up short on three as McIntyre recognized who was counting the pinfall.

Punk kicked McIntyre in the dick, setting up South of Heaven from Priest and the pinfall victory as the original referee counted.

In a scary moment during the bout, Priest got hung up by his right ankle in the ropes trying to do a dive to the outside. Priest was noticeably favoring his right leg and ankle for the rest of the bout.

The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, & Dominik Mysterio) were barred from ringside as a result of McIntyre defeating Balor on Monday's WWE Raw.

This was Priest's second successful title defense. He won the title from McIntyre at WWE WrestleMania XL Sunday when he cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase.
