CM Punk delivered a classic performance as he bested Drew McIntyre in their Hell In A Cell match at Bad Blood, but his victory came at significant personal cost. The 45-year-old ended up wrestling his longest match in WWE for more than a decade as he seemingly closed the book on his rivalry with the Scotsman inside the famed structure. Both men were physically and emotionally spent after the bout, with the battle being so grueling that Punk collapsed into the aisle after his win.
'The Second City Saint' slumped on his knees as WWE officials ran out to his aid, administering an oxygen mask to help Punk breathe after the incident. A real-life rivalry that has made its way on to WWE television, Punk's wife AJ Lee and his beloved dog Larry have been central characters in the feud, despite never appearing on camera. Fittingly, the pair played into the finish of the match, as The Scottish Warrior chose to try and humiliate Punk by pulling out a bag with the beads of the bracelet that had once featured their names.
The decision cost Drew, with Punk capitalising on the distraction, administering a GTS to McIntyre while wearing a steel chain around his knee. CM Punk Called for his Wife After the Brutal Hell In A Cell Match Punk allowed the medical assistance for a couple of seconds before ripping off the oxygen mask and, in typical fashion, yelling, “Somebody call my wife.” It will not have been an easy bout for AJ to watch, with her husband being busted open pretty early on after.
