Former WWE World Champion Drew McIntyre received a suspension following the WWE Money in the Bank live event, where CM Punk once again interfered. Punk had cost McIntyre his chance to win the World Heavyweight Championship against Damian Priest and Seth Rollins.
McIntyre won the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match and cashed in the same night. He intervened during Damian Priest and Seth Rollins’ match. The bout turned into a triple-threat match, with McIntyre dominating Rollins and Priest until CM Punk unexpectedly attacked McIntyre with a chair. This allowed Priest to capitalize on the opportunity and pin McIntyre to retain his title.
After the match, Drew McIntyre burst into the post-show press conference. With rage evident on his face, he took over the broadcast, venting his fury directly towards CM Punk. Amid the chaos, he assaulted backstage officials and Raw General Manager Adam Pearce, who attempted to intervene.
In the chaos, McIntyre elbowed Adam Pearce, which led him to face huge consequences for his actions. Raw General Manager announced that both McIntyre and Punk had been fined an undisclosed amount. Pearce also mentioned that Drew McIntyre had been officially suspended from WWE. With McIntyre now officially suspended, he finally broke his silence.
