McIntyre won the men’s Money in the Bank match earlier in the evening and cashed in his briefcase during the bout between Damian Priest and Seth Rollins. CM Punk eventually interfered, costing the Scottish warrior the title for the third time since WrestleMania.

During the post-show, McIntyre stormed the set and shoved several officials before elbowing Pearce in the head.

The feud between McIntyre and Punk has been going on since the Royal Rumble, when McIntyre took responsibility for injuring the Best in the World.

McIntyre has been making fun of Punk in his promos for several months. Punk was able to get revenge by preventing his opponent from winning the world title.

The first time Punk outsmarted McIntyre was at WrestleMania. McIntyre technically defeated Seth Rollins to win the title, but his reign only lasted a few minutes because he jumped in Punk’s face at the announce table. Punk hit him with his arm brace, allowing Priest to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase and steal the title.

In a rematch between Priest and McIntyre at Clash at the Castle: Scotland on June 15, Punk entered the ring disguised as a referee and stopped the count at two before delivering a low blow to McIntyre.

Punk’s attack at Money in the Bank came two weeks after he was eliminated by McIntyre in a backstage ambush on Friday Night SmackDown in Chicago on June 21.

Punk’s behavior at Money in the Bank added a new twist to the feud, as Rollins was also cheated out of the title and indicated that he was unhappy about Punk’s interference.

It is still unclear whether Punk has been medically cleared for wrestling after will go through Triceps surgery in February. If he does that – or will do so in the next few weeks – the long-awaited match between Punk and McIntyre could be set for SummerSlam on August 3.

This, of course, assumes that McIntyre’s suspension is lifted by then. He quit on the June 17 episode of Raw and was back on SmackDown four days later to launch his attack on Punk, so it’s safe to assume he’ll be reinstated within the next four weeks.
