One of the saddest updates from the latest Monday Night Raw has to be CM Punk’s injury. For those who are not aware, the former AEW star suffered an injury while trying to survive in the ring at the 2024 Royal Rumble. Reports suggest Punk has suffered a triceps injury and this has affected his chances of appearing at WrestleMania 40. Now that the star is out of action, former WWE Intercontinental Champion Drew McIntyre decided to troll Punk in a very subtle way.

Drew McIntyre trolls CM Punk with a “killer arm workout”

Taking to the social media platform TikTok, the Scottish Warrior posted a clip of his arm workout. While the caption invited fans to join him for this workout, he decided to take a subtle jab at CM Punk that many fans might not have noticed. As he was about to start with some triceps rope extension after sipping Logan Paul’s PRIME, he looked at the camera and said, “Time to tear up those triceps.” After that, he winked at the camera, suggesting that there was a pun in that line before continuing his workout.

This happens to be a subtle nod at Punk and his triceps injury. As stated before, the Second City Saint sustained that injury during the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble. However, what’s interesting to note is that the culprit is none other than Drew McIntyre. It has been reported that Punk got injured after he received an under-hook DDT from McIntyre.

The two went back and forth in the ring for a very long time. After getting injured, fans noticed that Punk rolled to the ringside and addressed his injury to the referee. Even though he was injured, Punk still managed to throw the 265-pound star out of the ring.
