WWE Raw 16th of September 2024

In-Ring Segment: CM Punk
Punk says he’s at the point in his career where people ask him how many matches he has left in these old bones. The answer is way more than you think. When Punk came back to WWE he said he didn’t come to make friends, but he didn’t come to make a mortal enemy, but it seems he has. The only way to end this is in Hell in a Cell. Punk feels a little naive because he thought after touching four turnbuckles. This probably should have ended when Drew McIntyre sent him to the hospital for the second time, but Punk is just too damn stubborn. If you ask how many Hell in a Cell matches he has left in him, the answer is zero.
Punk’s little sister and his wife have begged him not to do this. Armed with all of that information, Punk is going to explain why he’s going to do this. The devil in Punk’s heart tells him this has to end in Hell in a Cell. Punk says he can’t promise that he is going to kill McIntyre, because he doesn’t make promises he doesn’t know if he can keep. Punk can promise this: He’s going to make Drew McIntyre bleed. He’s prepared to make this the end of CM Punk. If McIntyre is comfortable with this being the end of him, Punk will meet McIntyre at Hell in a Cell.
