Drew McIntyre’s WWE journey has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows. After repeatedly falling short of a WrestleMania opportunity—thanks to Damian Priest—The Scottish Warrior has been left reeling in defeat. However, fueled by frustration, McIntyre unleashed a vicious assault on The Punisher. Adding to the drama, the former WWE Champion took a hilarious jab at Priest following SmackDown.

Taking to X, the 39-year-old shared a popular GIF of Priest flipping his hair back, subtly challenging The Punisher to a fight. In a hilarious display of disrespect, McIntyre dubbed Priest “Temu Taker,” a playful jab at the former Judgment Day member. The post was a follow-up to McIntyre’s brutal assault on SmackDown, further intensifying their rivalry.

Priest has repeatedly been a thorn in McIntyre’s side, costing him multiple opportunities in recent months. Most notably, Priest eliminated the former WWE Champion from the Men’s Royal Rumble match and later ousted him from the Elimination Chamber with a roll-up. Since then, The Punisher has become a constant source of frustration for The Scottish Warrior.

Given the escalating tensions between the two, a clash at WrestleMania 41 seems increasingly likely. Their rivalry is steeped in history, with a pivotal moment occurring at WrestleMania XL when Priest cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on McIntyre. That moment not only marked the beginning of a new era for The Punisher but also the start of McIntyre’s downward spiral.

John Cena’s shocking heel turn at Elimination Chamber against Cody Rhodes signaled the beginning of a new era for The Cenation Leader, forever altering the WWE landscape. However, Drew McIntyre believes he could have prevented it—if only Damian Priest hadn’t meddled in his affairs. According to McIntyre, Priest’s eliminating him from behind derailed his plans.

In an interview with Byron Saxton on SmackDown, McIntyre claimed he would have delivered a devastating Claymore to John Cena, stopping him from winning the Elimination Chamber and preventing millions of heartbreaks. However, McIntyre took a shot at Priest, accusing him of taking the coward’s way out by rolling him up from behind instead of facing him head-on.

I would have prevented so many people having their heart broken when I Claymore’d him in his big stupid head in the Chamber, but Damian Priest had to slither in and steal the pin from behind, taking away my last chance at the world title at WrestleMania.

The Scottish Warrior appears to have a keen interest in the unfolding events surrounding The Cenation Leader. He believes he had already warned fans about the coming heel turn. Many speculate that he could eventually align with Cena and The Rock, but for now, tensions remain high. With uncertainty looming, it will be fascinating to see how things evolve from here.
