Drew McIntyre revealed that he left the arena because he was angry, but it wasn&#8217;t solely about the 46-year-old&#8217;s return to the promotion. <\/p>\n<p>The former World Heavyweight Champion noted that Seth Rollins was screaming at Punk from twenty feet away and admitted that he wouldn&#8217;t have been able to stand that close while angry.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;You know, the night CM Punk returned, I may have definitely left the arena. I was so angry, not necessarily just about that. There were a couple of reasons. With Seth Rollins 20 feet away, shaking his fist, getting angry, swearing at him\u2026 and me, who left the arena, because when I\u2019m actually angry, I couldn\u2019t stand that close,&#8221; McIntyre said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>McIntyre added that when he gets mad, he is more likely to punch someone in the face rather than yell at them.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I would walk up and punch somebody in the face, because I\u2019m a grown man. I don\u2019t shout things from a distance. I hit people, or I walk away and calm down,&#8221; he added.

And then we had the Damian Priest one later on in the show. I like Drew with the eye patch, to be honest with you. Listen, man, Drew, Drew cuts a great promo. Damien Priest cuts a good promo, too. He just needs to be a little bit more creative. He says a lot of basic things. He. He just needs help, you know, with the verbiage. But I thought promos from both guys were pretty decent tonight.&#8221; [From 14:04 onwards]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>You can check out the video below:<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/wwe\/embed\">\n<div class=\"yt-wrapper\">                    <noscript><iframe title=\"Kevin Owens&#039; serious injury means Randy Orton has an unexpected opponent?\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/trCc2P27xVI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>                    <\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube\" data-embed=\"trCc2P27xVI\">\n<div class=\"play-button\"><img height=\"370\" width=\"660\" data-img=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/trCc2P27xVI\/sddefault.jpg\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/trCc2P27xVI\/sddefault.jpg\" class=\"lazy-img\" alt=\"youtube-cover\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Drew McIntyre and CM Punk had a legendary rivalry last year, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/wwe\/3-reasons-why-cm-punk-beat-drew-mcintyre-hell-cell-match-bad-blood\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">culminated in a Hell in a Cell match at Bad Blood 2024<\/a>.
