CM Punk shows no mercy to Drew McIntyre in a spectacular Strap Match at Bash In Berlin

CM Punk vs Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre goes on the attack before CM Punk finishes making his entrance. This allows the Scot to take advantage when they return to the ring, he puts the strap on his rival, and has the advantage to use it as a weapon when the bell rings. With just a few blows, Punk shows the mark of the attack on his back. The Chicago native manages to recover, but decides not to start hitting the corners because he wants to cause more damage to his opponent.

Both take the action outside, which is dangerous due to the fact that they are linked by the leather strap. McIntyre attacks Punk against the English commentary table, but is surprised with a big blow to the back. CM Punk takes control of the match, but wastes too much time setting up a table at ringside. Drew McIntyre returns to the ring, forcing Punk to do the same to attack him with a “Claymore Kick.” The Scot touches three corners, but CM Punk prevents him from winning by leaving the ring to make him crash face first into a metal chair that had previously been placed in a corner.

Drew McIntyre misses the corner tag sequence, but sends Punk violently into the table he had previously set up outside the ring. McIntyre decides to carry CM Punk on his shoulders to start tapping the corners, but the latter also manages to start his count. Both are with their three lights on, but neither achieves victory because they get completely tangled up in their attempt to make the fourth tag. Both miss the sequence and end up knocked down on the canvas after an exchange of blows. What a great display at WWE Bash In Berlin 2024 .

CM Punk has the advantage when they get to their feet, as he catches Drew McIntyre with a Texas Cloverleaf; the Scotsman taps out several times, but the referee is unable to stop the match. Punk starts his count again, but McIntyre stops him short by tightening the strap and knocks his opponent down with a Neckbreaker. Drew gets to his feet after a few minutes and connects with a new Claymore Kick, now motivated by CM Punk’s bracelet.

McIntyre had started the count, but is quickly stopped with a “GTS.” “The Best in the World” tries to count, but Drew stops him with his boot. Second “GTS” by Punk on McIntyre! CM Punk hits a corner, hits the second, and stops to attack Drew with a third “GTS.” CM Punk recovers his bracelet, connects a “GTS” for the fourth time and finishes hitting the corners. SPECTACULAR VICTORY FOR CM PUNK OVER DREW MCINTYRE!!
