Last Month’s Ranking: No. 9
Last Month’s Segments: At times, the former world champion may come off as annoying to fans who have grown tired of his same old story of being screwed out of the title, for which he deliberately blames CM Punk. In the lead-up to Bad Blood, McIntyre told us he would end Punk for good. We’ve heard him make similar claims many times in the past, yet we remained curious about how their Hell in a Cell match at Bad Blood would unfold.
Bad Blood Performance: When you promise to make someone bleed, you better deliver. McIntyre was able to bust CM Punk open after long-darting him into the cell wall. The Scottish psychopath’s facial expressions following the move were menacing, which added to the danger Punk was in. Amazing work!
Drew missed a “Claymore” and landed on the ring steps, which I imagine he’ll be feeling for the next few weeks. That spot in the match was the catalyst for the finish. This performance for McIntyre was top-tier. Even in a loss, he deserved a standing ovation not only from the audience inside State Farm Arena but also from everyone in the locker room.
