CM Punk has once again screwed Drew McIntyre out of the World Heavyweight Championship.
WWE posted a video of Punk backstage grabbing a referee’s shirt as part of his effort to screw over his longtime rival.

Punk went out during McIntyre’s match against Damien Priest to play more mind games with his longtime rival, counting to two when McIntyre had Priest down for the count before giving him the peace sign.
Priest would wind up using the distraction to recover and retain his championship when the referee got back in the ring.
Punk and McIntyre have been feuding for months despite the former being out of action due to injury. McIntyre’s obsession with Punk cost him the world heavyweight championship at WrestleMania, as Priest cashed in his Money in the Bank contract after a Punk-McIntyre altercation.
This all seems to be building toward Punk and McIntyre going head-to-head at SummerSlam.
