Drew McIntyre versus CM Punk is perfect for a Hell in a Cell match
As a seasoned gamer of WWE storylines spanning over two decades, I can confidently say that the McIntyre vs Punk feud has been a rollercoaster ride of epic proportions. The animosity between these two titans of the ring is palpable and their rivalry has certainly lived up to the hype.
2024 has been a noteworthy year for WWE, filled with significant bouts, including championship matches and those featured during weekly broadcasts. The promotion has offered plenty of exciting moments to discuss. So far, the most intense rivalry is between Drew McIntyre and CM Punk, which ignited unintentionally at the Royal Rumble and has since escalated on-screen. Given their escalating animosity, it would be fitting for these two to engage in a Hell in a Cell match at some point this year.
Overall, the McIntyre versus Punk storyline has been largely satisfying for fans. However, some criticized McIntyre for winning the Money in the Bank only to cash it in later that night and fail. This setback added fuel to their ongoing feud, paving the way for Seth Rollins’ return from his persistent injuries. As the weeks pass, the tension between Punk and McIntyre escalates, with the Hell in a Cell match scheduled to resolve their animosity once and for all.
What makes this perspective particularly appealing is that it doesn’t require a title match, although one could be possible in the future. In the meantime, there’s a wealth of opportunities to develop storylines involving characters such as GUNTHER and Damian Priest on Monday Night Raw, without the championship being a primary focus. This flexibility allows WWE to grow other characters alongside the potential for a title matchdown later on.
Let’s discuss the Hell in a Cell match again. This battle is designed as the final showdown to wrap up all ongoing storylines. For instance, we had Edge against Finn Balor, Seth Rollins versus Cody Rhodes, and even Edge versus Seth Rollins themselves. During those periods, these matches were significant highlights for the promotion. However, none of them involved a championship title. That’s how it should be – keeping titles away from Hell in a Cell makes fans focus on other aspects. WWE often found it challenging to create engaging storylines without a title at stake. Now, creators are focusing on storylines that don’t revolve around the title picture, and that’s where Hell in a Cell should stay. By doing so, characters can be developed to such an extent that fans deeply understand their animosity. When these stories conclude, two fresh names emerge, potentially drawing fan attention due to their previous narrative.
Right now, Drew McIntyre and CM Punk are still significant figures within the WWE scene. Although they aren’t actively chasing championships, their continued presence in the main events is a beneficial move for story development. As this narrative progresses, it seems fitting that the Hell in a Cell match could serve as an ideal conclusion to the storyline, at least for now.
