CM Punk revels in victory over Drew McIntyre: WWE Bash in Berlin 2024 exclusive

CM Punk, the bracelet is back home, if you will. How does it feel to have that back around your wrist and away from Drew McIntyre? >> It feels good, I think a big deal has been made out of this, but it was really about the disrespect to my dog and my wife. And I plan on going home and giving my dog and my wife a big hug and a kiss, maybe not in that order, but probably in that order. >> [LAUGH] >> And move on to bigger and better things. >> Was there a message of any kind from your wife before you got on the plane to come over here and try to get this thing back? I imagine she's as pissed as you are, or were. >> Yeah, she told me, and this, anytime it involves Larry, she told me to make sure you hurt him. And just like in the past, when anybody messes with my dog, I hurt him. And I think I hurt Drew, and I can hopefully move on, I got gold on my mind. >> Yeah, you told me earlier today you wanted to leave him bloody and broken, and I think you probably accomplished both of those things. But this is also a pretty monumental moment in victory for you just since coming back to WWE. Has that really sunk in for you yet, and how much does it mean to you? It means a lot to me and I look at the miles ahead, not the miles behind, I still got a lot of work to do. But coming back eight months ago, getting put on the shelf for six of those months, and finally coming back and feeling 100%, getting my confidence back and getting a w is gonna go a long way. So, I'm excited for Monday Night Raw in Denver, and I'm excited for the future. Coming here to Germany and wrestling in front of the people in Berlin is a dream come true that I never thought I would experience again, so it's been a fun trip. >> And, I mean, you're loved in a lot of places, but you received a very, very warm welcome here in Berlin. And it started on the countdown show, they were chanting your name throughout, even when we weren't talking about you. Does that ever get old, does that ever, or does it always feel special every time? >> It feels special every time, and it feels more special today because I think I'm just a hell of a lot more grateful for it, I certainly don't take it for granted anymore. >> All right, last one, does anything in WWE hurt more than that strap? Cuz, wow. [LAUGH] >> It's like getting hit with a bullwhip. But we talked about me leaving Drew bloody and broken, I feel a little bloody and broken right now too. >> [LAUGH] >> So, that's the price we pay. But that crowd makes you just forget about all the pains and the aches and just run on pure adrenaline, it's great. >> Well, listen, congratulations, enjoy getting home and getting some rest and recovering from some of these wounds, if you will, thanks for this. >> Thank you.
