Drew McIntyre has opened up about his plans following his highly anticipated Hell in a Cell match against CM Punk at WWE Bad Blood on October 5, 2024. The fierce rivalry between McIntyre and Punk has reached a boiling point, but the question now is: what’s next for the Scottish Warrior after this epic showdown?

The ongoing feud between McIntyre and Punk has been one of the most personal and brutal rivalries in WWE this year. The two have been at odds since January 2024, when McIntyre caused Punk’s torn triceps injury during the Royal Rumble, sidelining Punk for nearly six months. Punk eventually returned to action, hellbent on revenge, costing McIntyre the World Heavyweight Championship at both WrestleMania 40 and Money in the Bank 2024.

Their heated exchanges came to a head at SummerSlam 2024, where McIntyre picked up the win, albeit with some controversy due to Seth Rollins serving as the special guest referee. However, Punk evened the score at Bash in Berlin, defeating McIntyre cleanly. Now, the two bitter rivals are set to face off one final time inside the Hell in a Cell at Bad Blood, where the animosity between them will culminate.

But what comes after Bad Blood for Drew McIntyre?

In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, McIntyre spoke about his future WWE plans and how it might be difficult to top the intensity of his feud with Punk. “Whatever I do next, I’ve already told [WWE Creative] you’re not gonna find something like this, because this is legitimate hatred,” McIntyre admitted. “But I better have something I can buy into. That’s based in truth. That I can really have fun with because you see what can happen if you give me something I truly believe in.”

McIntyre is fully aware that this rivalry with Punk is special and deeply personal. Their storyline has been built on real animosity, which McIntyre credits for elevating his performances and making the feud one of the most compelling in recent WWE history. He understands that his next storyline may not reach the same heights, but he is determined to make sure that whatever comes next is something he can invest in and make equally entertaining for the fans.

For now, all eyes are on the Hell in a Cell match at Bad Blood, where McIntyre and Punk will settle their score once and for all. Regardless of the outcome, McIntyre’s next move in WWE is sure to be something he approaches with the same passion and intensity that he’s brought to his feud with CM Punk.

Fans won’t want to miss what could be the final chapter in one of WWE’s most intense rivalries in years at WWE Bad Blood. The question remains: will McIntyre emerge victorious, or will Punk get the ultimate revenge?
