Drew McIntyre fails in WWE Money in the Bank cash-in after CM Punk interference

Must read

Drew McIntyre no longer holds the Money in the Bank briefcase.

During the World Heavyweight title match Saturday, both Seth Rollins and Damian Priest were down when McIntyre came out and cashed in the contract he had won earlier in the show, turning the match into a triple threat. He went to grab Priest when suddenly CM Punk attacked McIntyre. He took McIntyre to the outside and struck him with steel chair shots. When McIntyre re-entered the ring, Punk grabbed the title and struck McIntyre with it. That allowed Priest to pin McIntyre with the south of heaven to retain the title.

Punk sat on the announce table as he applauded McIntyre losing yet another shot at the World Heavyweight title. Seth Rollins, who had agreed to a stipulation that he could never challenge for the World Heavyweight title as long as Priest was champion if he lost, yelled at Punk on the outside.

Punk and McIntyre have been at each other’s throats for most of the year, starting when McIntyre mocked Punk for getting injured at the Royal Rumble. After Punk attacked McIntyre at WrestleMania, Priest capitalized by cashing in his MITB briefcase and defeated McIntyre to win the World Heavyweight title he had just won. Punk then cost McIntyre the title again at Clash at the Castle after disguising himself as a referee. McIntyre responded by attacking Punk and leaving him a bloody mess the following Friday on SmackDown.
