Drew McIntyre: CM Punk Has Got Charles Manson-like Qualities. He Believes The BS He Says And Everyone Follows Him Like Freaking Zombies

Drew McIntyre says CM Punk has got Charles Manson-like qualities.

In late 2024, CM Punk and Drew McIntyre feuded with each other on WWE television. They had their first singles match at SummerSlam 2024, followed by two more matches at Bash in Berlin and Bad Blood.

McIntyre was a recent guest on AwayDays for their Shirt Shopping series, where he talked about Henrik Larsson’s injury. McIntyre said that he never wished injury upon anyone else, but he, as a Rangers’ fan, wanted Larsson to sign for another club. Then he brought up CM Punk.

“Except CM Punk. I prayed for it, and it happened. Yeah, I genuinely did. I’m not the most religious man in the world, but I got down on my hands and knees, and I said, ‘Just do this for me, big dog.’ He did. That’s how we talk. He calls me G, I call him big dog.”

Later in the video, McIntyre was asked who he hates more, Celtic or CM Punk.

“Oh, Punk. Yeah, I don’t hate Celtic. No, no. That’s just rivalry. That’s like me and Seth Rollins. Like, I don’t like Roman Reigns, him and his family keep screwing me over. Punk is just… I can get one swear today. But bleep me. He’s a [bleep]… Yeah, he’s a genuinely horrible person. It’s amazing that he’s got as far as he got, looking as bad as he looked. He decided he found the gym now. Everyone’s like, ‘Oh, he’s in such great shape. No, he’s in great shape. Let me finish my sentence. For him. For him. Great shape. Great shape for him.”

McIntyre also said that CM Punk has qualities like Charles Manson.

“Yeah, he’s got Charles Manson-like qualities. That, I’ll give it to him. Because he believes the BS he says and everyone follows him like freaking zombies. I’m like, ‘Wow, you are totally Charles Manson.’ I could stand there and point out the facts, which I did constantly, and I have my degree in criminology. I’d be like, ‘No, just check the facts beyond all reasonable doubt.’ You know, character witness report on me online. Just type my name in Google. Drew’s a nice guy. He’s the nicest guy. He was always nice to his fans. Always nice… CM Punk, what’s he like as a person? [bleep] Again, just do your own research. Beyond all reasonable doubt, that’s all I’ll ask for. People would still go, ‘No, he’s got some good points, that Punk.’ I was like, ‘No, he’s just bamboozling you.’ Again, Charles Manson, whatever.”

Punk will be part of the upcoming Team USA vs. Team Mexico match at Survivor Series. Fans can read the full lineup by clicking here.
