This week’s SmackDown saw an intense brawl between Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest, escalating their heated rivalry of the past few months. However, Priest dominated last night, determined to get his revenge on the former WWE Champion. The chaos reached new heights when the 43-year-old sent McIntyre crashing into a car windshield, leaving a lasting statement.
During a backstage interview, The Scottish Warrior took multiple shots at The Punisher, throwing shade at his rival. However, the former World Heavyweight Champion was lurking nearby and ambushed McIntyre. Priest attacked the 39-year-old in the backstage area, dragging him onto the hood of a car. To make a statement, he delivered a devastating South of Heaven, driving McIntyre through the car’s windshield.
It was a vengeful assault by the 43-year-old, who had endured relentless beatdowns from McIntyre in recent weeks. Just last week in Italy, McIntyre ruthlessly laid out the former Judgment Day member, blaming him for shattering his WrestleMania aspirations. However, with last night’s brutal brawl, Priest may have finally evened the score—at least for now.

The Scottish Warrior had every reason to attack, as Priest cost him the Royal Rumble match and eliminated him from the Elimination Chamber. Their rivalry has been fueled by intense animosity over the past few months. With tensions rising, WWE appears to be building toward a blockbuster showdown at this year’s WrestleMania.
Drew McIntyre addressed fans’ reaction to his program with Damian Priest
Drew McIntyre had an exceptional run in 2024, setting high expectations for 2025. However, he failed to capitalize on any major opportunities for himself at WrestleMania early this year. Reports later emerged that he was set to face Damian Priest at The Show of Shows, a decision that sparked major backlash from the WWE Universe.
Speaking to the Daily Star, the former WWE Champion expressed his confusion over the negativity surrounding his rivalry with Priest. He emphasized that their feud has been building for over a year, making it a meaningful matchup. McIntyre pointed out that last year, The Punisher cost him the World Title, and this year, he robbed him of a WrestleMania opportunity, adding depth to their story.
I appreciated when the fans reaction was, oh my goodness, it’s Priest and Drew, there’s nothing there. I’m like bloody hell, give us a chance to tell the story. The thing with Priest has been going on since last year’s WrestleMania when he cashed in on me after I was assaulted by Punk.

The Scottish Warrior added that he feels blessed to have the opportunity to face Priest on a grand stage like WrestleMania. Instead of being disappointed, he urged fans to look forward to how the story will unfold. With tensions at an all-time high, it will be interesting to see what’s next for McIntyre and Priest.
Drew McIntyre takes a brutal shot at CM Punk
Drew McIntyre and CM Punk were once among WWE’s fiercest rivals, with their feud reshaping the company’s landscape and altering the course of their careers. Though McIntyre failed to secure a victory over The Best in the World, he has not stopped taking shots at The Second City Saint.
McIntyre recently attended a UFC event in Europe, where he took a jab at Punk’s MMA career during a WWE vlog. The former WWE Champion claimed that, even without training or preparation, he would perform far better than The Best in the World did in UFC.
I can confidently say, if I got in the Octagon right now with zero training whatsoever, I would do 1,000 times better than CM Punk.

Following his infamous WWE exit, the Chicago native ventured into UFC, competing in two fights and suffering embarrassing losses in both. His MMA stint became one of the most ridiculed chapters of his career, with opponents still mocking it to this day. McIntyre was the latest to take a brutal shot at Punk’s failed run in the octagon.
