Punk vs. Drew:
For those who have asked about CM Punk and Drew McIntyre, we can confirm they are very banged up, as you would imagine.
Punk collapsing in the aisle on the way back was not a sign of any injury or distress from what we have heard. It was just him doing an amazing job of selling.
As we broke last night, Drew McIntyre received a legitimate 16 staples in his head from the tool box shot. There were other talents marveling at him powering through that after the match.
We've been asked if McIntyre was injured in the gnarly stairs spot, but all signs this afternoon are that he somehow escaped injury there.
The feeling backstage was they brought back the sense of danger and ferociousness that steel cage matches and later the Cell bouts used to carry.
