WWE Bad Blood 2024 kicked off with an intense Hell in a Cell match between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena. The highly anticipated bout delivered the brutality fans expected, but it left Drew McIntyre significantly worse for wear, as he required medical attention following the match.
According to PWInsider, McIntyre was “banged up” after the match, having suffered a legitimate head injury when CM Punk struck him with a metal toolbox during the heated confrontation. The impact left McIntyre bleeding heavily, and after the match, he required sixteen staples to close the wound.
The match saw McIntyre pull out all the stops, desperately trying to overcome Punk inside the unforgiving structure. At one point, McIntyre even attempted a Claymore Kick, but missed, sending him crashing into the steel steps. Punk ultimately capitalized, wrapping a chain around his knee and delivering a devastating GTS to secure the win.
Despite the loss, McIntyre’s resilience and toughness shone through, but the toll it took on him physically was evident. As of now, no further updates have been provided on McIntyre’s condition, but fans are hopeful for his recovery following the intense battle.
Ringside News will continue to monitor Drew McIntyre’s status and provide updates as they become available.
