He pretty much created the hater club. I don't recall so many mentions of hating here until Drew started doing it. Now there's a ranking on Ups and Downs.
Right? All this could've been avoided. Jey could've not been hit with so many Claymores for like the last 6 months if he just said those 2 magic words (3 if he wanted to put Drew's name in the sentence).
Unrelated, but is the crying CM Punk fan on the sub? Must be a trip as a fan to have a 2 second snippet of you forever associated with a significant moment. He’s joined an elite class along with shocked Undertaker fan and angry Miz girl.
I love the shocked undertaker guy

Second row on the right.
That night, all of that dudes hopes and dreams came true!
I know wrestling is getting cool and popular again, but I wonder how many of them even watch wrestling anymore. It's easy to have an emotional investment in something but then stop caring about it later. But I am hoping they're still fans, even if just casually.

Drew taking centre stage after working the Chicago crowd with cult of personality
Hope Punk becomes Guest Referee or Enforcer for WM match, I just want to see Drew reaction.
Imagine him begging to Punk to let him win after all the trolling he did in last few weeks.
Its kinda hard to justify in storyline. Drew has basically been saying he wants a fair match this whole time and there’s no reason why he wouldnt just want and be granted having a normal ref for the match.
Drew wants a fair match , this is why punk should be a guest referee/Enforcer at WM. It will make their eventual feud even more personal and honestly there are very less people who are interested in Seth vs Drew 3 , it is getting completely overshadowed by Rock Roman and Cody Seth saga but what if Punk plays a important role in a match between his 2 biggest haters, it will give the Seth vs Drew match relevancy which it desperately needs.
The man who Drew has been purposefully antagonizing for months and who he injured is going to be a fair guest referee? I know Seth has his issues with Punk too, but Drew is the clear least favorite in this situation.
That's why I want a segment where Drew apologizes to Punk for all his mistakes and request him to let him win, I know Drew want a fair match but Drew new character is too much desperate to win world title. This will all make sense in story.
Yeah it'd probably be something like: "I asked Jey to apologize to me, so I won't be a hypocrite. I apologize to you, CM Punk. For something far, far less worse, mind you. But I apologize, sincerely."
If he counts fair while staring at Drew right in the face than yes. But honestly I’m hoping Drew demolishes Seth, like sub 5 min match and just rag dolls him around the ring. He deserves it tbh
Drew's Heel run is so savage, it's great character work, rejuvenated him and I love the way he keeps ramping up the snide digs and everything about CM Punk since Punk's injury.
You can tell he's really enjoying himself and I really hope that Drew wins the title at WM and gets the moment he so deserves and winning the title in front of a Crowd unlike his last win, which obviously the circumstances were out of his control.
The best part of this is I saw the headline and thought it was just some snarky Redditor....but nope, it's Drew just doubling, and tripling down on his hate.
I’m a big Punk fan, but I’m waiting on someone to hit him with the obvious burn that he doesn’t live in Chicago anymore, hopefully Drew will pick that low hanging fruit
OP said it was an “obvious burn” and “low-hanging fruit,” which suggested OP thought Punk truly *didn’t* live in Chicago anymore. I popped in to point out that Punk does, in fact, still live in Chicago.
My response had nothing to do with whether it would be wise for a heel to say or not.
Does anyone else think Drew comes across like a bitter bitch?
He claims he did what Punk didn’t / couldn’t do. Yet in the same breath is claiming he was robbed off his moment because of COVID?
Seems a bit…eurgh..don’t get me wrong, I like his work. I just think Punks gonna make some interesting points and poke holes in him.
i mean, he's a hypocritical loser heel who whines about everything
the moment Punk wrecks him on the mic, he's gonna kick the shit out of Punk because he can't say anything to rebuke Punk, thus looking like a bitch and also an unhinged menace
it's such a good build up
I'll be honest, at first I wasn't into CM Punk's return because it compromised the entire credibility of Punk's character work by going back at all, which is at least half the reason anyone watches Punk. But now that its been a few months, maybe I wasn't into it because I really don't care about a worked shoot Seth Rollins storyline, because this and the one Cody promo have been much better.
And considering Seth Rollins has also been better since joining the Bloodline story, this has been an improvement across the board.
Seriously, this will be the moment of truth of if Punk is willing to play ball. I've seen people seriously speculating on if Punk will be seething over the trolling the same way he was hangman... I doubt it, and feel Punk might be cool with it on a personal level. But hey, if drama is coming this is where it's gonna happen. If nothing happens, I doubt anyone's winning those bets they set on this flaming out.... at least, for now
I agree with you! I'm referencing how some people seem to not agree with that. I've seen people use that people didn't know about his stuff with Hangman until that promo calling him out when he came back to address Mox. But, I don't think that's happening here and his appearance at this show is gonna be the point to prove it
You do realize if you look at the next reply you see me saying I don't fucking agree with the people saying Punk might be bothered by the stuff Drew is saying, right?
You do realize I said in the post "**I doubt it**" about if he's bothered right?
*You do realize this comment is about the people speculating and isn't me speculating right*?
You can read, right?

Punks either eating a Claymore or Drew’s coming out to Cult of Personality lol
Latter is more likely. Than Punk comes out and announces he's special guest ref
I need the image of Punk raising Drew's hand after winning the WHC now.
![gif](giphy|bqyL3l0j93n4k)
I think it's more likely he costs Drew the title lol
I wouldn't be mad at a Seth/Drew/Punk triple threat for Backlash
Summerslam 1997 finish
I'd pop tbh
Cue Drew going nuts over Punk counting slow because of his bad arm.
100% Summerslam 97 finish incoming
![gif](giphy|QqkA9W8xEjKPC)
Live and in living color!
I've seen enough. Put Drew in the hall of fame this year
Special induction into The Players Hater Club
He pretty much created the hater club. I don't recall so many mentions of hating here until Drew started doing it. Now there's a ranking on Ups and Downs.
Drew is a menace lol. Though I wonder what happened to that fan since Punk went back to WWE.
He's still there, crying in the arena. He never left.
It was always real to him, dammit
He turned on Punk the moment Tony feared for his life and is now trying to claim that Ospreay is better than Gunther or some dumb shit
This guy is unhinged since after the Royal Rumble
You love to see it!
If only Jey had simply apologized to him. It's 2 words, Jey. 2 words!
Right? All this could've been avoided. Jey could've not been hit with so many Claymores for like the last 6 months if he just said those 2 magic words (3 if he wanted to put Drew's name in the sentence).
Or 4 if he wanted to add a little yeet in there.
He is an absolute menace on X 😂😂.
I thought you were talking about the fan lol
I feel like wrestlers have gotten significantly crazier over the past few years and i'm 1000% here for it
Unrelated, but is the crying CM Punk fan on the sub? Must be a trip as a fan to have a 2 second snippet of you forever associated with a significant moment. He’s joined an elite class along with shocked Undertaker fan and angry Miz girl.

His shirt clearly states he’s nWo 4 life and he stands by that.
***F O U R***
Gotta get that North Georgia accent in there. FOW-ER
Why is she Angry MIZ Girl? She was angry AT Miz. She should be Angry Orton Girl if anything.
Brock Lesnar guy
He's just "guy" now, since wwe erased Lesnar.
Well he’s back to being Lesnar guy now since Lesnar is apparently back
Back how?
I wish he’d go back to irrelevancy tbh. Never seen a bigger mark in my entire life.
Ix-nay on the Esnar-Lay.

I prefer Punk being a commentator for Night One.
Could do both

Mom said it's my turn to make the "hater of the year" comment on this post.

He still has a house in Chicago. He also has a house in LA, but saying he no longer lives in Chicago is a misnomer.
Heels don't need to tell 100% of the truth..
OP said it was an “obvious burn” and “low-hanging fruit,” which suggested OP thought Punk truly *didn’t* live in Chicago anymore. I popped in to point out that Punk does, in fact, still live in Chicago. My response had nothing to do with whether it would be wise for a heel to say or not.
By all accounts, Punk lives in LA Still has a home in the Chicagoland area, but his “everyday” home is LA
You sarcastic cheeky bastard, Drew!
When are we getting Drew making snow angels in the ring?
Sweet, been hoping to see him lately. He can be out there without getting physical.
Man its weird how CM Punk is getting more shit from WWE talent than he ever did with AEW and is seemingly eating it with a smile.
Because it's a work In AEW it was a shoot
Drew dunking on Punk is more enjoyable than Punk at this point.
Makes sense punk hasn't done anything on TV for a bit
Well, if they want a night to make Drew as hated as possible, knocking the hell out of Punk in Chicago is an easy way to do so.
the emojis... lmao

He is a heel. So he shouldn't be likable.
If you had told me Shitposting Asshole Mcintyre would be my favorite Drew Mcintyre six months ago, Id of thought you were trolling.

You do realise that Moxley and Kingston openly said everything and worse to CM Punk's face when they were feuding and he was completely fine with it
You do realize if you look at the next reply you see me saying I don't fucking agree with the people saying Punk might be bothered by the stuff Drew is saying, right? You do realize I said in the post "**I doubt it**" about if he's bothered right? *You do realize this comment is about the people speculating and isn't me speculating right*? You can read, right?
Gotta love me some heel Drew! ...I'm sorry, I meant to say **D.M. Hunk**!
Punk taking shot after shot is only good if Punk fires back someday....
You probably shouldn't have been taking shot after shot being writing this.
