CM Punk and Drew McIntyre go to war inside Hell in a Cell

At WWE Bad Blood, CM Punk will go to war with his heated adversary Drew McIntyre inside Hell in a Cell.

When Punk suffered an injury in the Royal Rumble Match, McIntyre stated that he prayed for it to happen and mercilessly mocked Punk for his misfortune. His actions, however, would have consequences.

Punk had a front-row seat when McIntyre won the World Heavyweight title from Seth "Freakin" Rollins at WrestleMania XL. But McIntyre became too distracted by Punk after the victory, paving the way for Damian Priest to cash in his Money in the Bank contract and defeat McIntyre to become the new World Heavyweight Champion.

Punk then cost McIntyre a title opportunity the following Monday night on Raw and interfered in McIntyre's World Heavyweight Title Match against Priest at WWE Clash at the Castle.

An irate McIntyre fired back in calculated fashion when he pretended to quit WWE, only to unleash a brutal attack on Punk on SmackDown and steal a bracelet that represented Punk’s love for his wife and dog.

McIntyre went on to win the Money in the Bank Ladder Match and inserted himself into the World Heavyweight title match between Priest and Rollins on the same night, only to have Punk cost him the championship yet again.

When the two finally squared off in a highly anticipated showdown at SummerSlam, McIntyre emerged victorious over Punk after an altercation occurred between Punk and special guest referee Rollins.

In a brutal Strap Match at WWE Bash in Berlin, Punk seemed as if he had finally put the heated rivalry to bed when he conquered McIntyre and took his prized bracelet back. McIntyre wasn't finished, however, unleashing another vicious assault that included numerous Claymore Kicks on the Sept. 2 episode of Raw. He then once again took the bracelet off Punk's wrist and ripped it apart.

In response, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce set up a third match between Punk and McIntyre for Bad Blood, and it’ll be held inside the barbaric Hell in a Cell.
