WWE opened Bad Blood with a bang with the Hell in a Cell match between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre, the first match on the card. The finish saw Punk put beads in Drew’s mouth and hit the GTS with a chain to Drew for the win.
Their feud dates back to January when Punk got injured in the Men’s Royal Rumble match in a move with McIntyre. They wrestled a singles match at SummerSlam, where Punk put over McIntyre. At Bash in Berlin, McIntyre did the honors for Punk in a strap match.
As previously reported, McIntyre was said to be banged up and needed 16 staples to close the wound on the top of his head that was caused by a shot from a toolbox.
PWInsider.com reports the feeling backstage was that the two stars brought back a sense of danger and ferociousness that cage matches used to carry years ago.
According to the report, Punk collapsing in the aisleway after the match was just part of his marketing of the bout’s effects.
