Following last week’s beatdown on Drew McIntyre, CM Punk had a message to deliver to his adversary on the latest episode of Raw. Punk arrived in a mood to fight and laid down a challenge to McIntyre for Bash in Berlin. The Second City Saint revealed that he spoke to Raw GM Adam Pearce, who had no issues with the match. Moreover, with a belt around his shoulders, Punk announced a special stipulation for the grudge bout.

After whipping McIntyre with a belt, the Best in the World challenged him to a ‘Strap Match’. This brought out the Scot, who did not hesitate in accepting. McIntyre explained that he needed to exact revenge for what transpired last week. Further, he mentioned the scars he endured due to the belt treatment. As such, the former Intercontinental Champion wanted to get inside the ring and repay the favor to Punk. However, the latter refused to let go of the belt.

Punk promised to do so only if McIntyre gave him back the bracelet. The Scottish Warrior continued to mock the former AEW wrestler, bringing up his wife, AJ Lee, and dog, Larry. Drew McIntyre felt that his family was much safer in his hand. In response, Punk reminded his rival that at Bash in Berlin, they would be strapped to each other with nowhere to run for him.

At SummerSlam, McIntyre picked up the win in their first grudge match. Seth Rollins, who was the special guest referee, played a crucial role in the finish. The Visionary inadvertently distracted CM Punk, which allowed the former WWE Champion to emerge victorious. Without Rollins’ involvement at Bash in Berlin, fans will finally get to see a physical one-on-one match between the pair.
