CM Punk instantly became the WWE’s biggest tragic figure after Drew Mclntyre taught him a tough lesson. The over-the-top WWE persona was supposed to have a big night at Cleveland last Saturday as he engaged in his first-ever full-fledged match since returning. Punk’s resilience to heal from a grave injury five months earlier than the stipulated time and immediately lace up his boots for a high-stakes match was also the prime reason for the world to look up to what he would bring. While their feud could continue further, the world is still obsessing over the jibes the duo took on each other during the heated build-up. Fans found a piece of Punk in a minute observation of AEW’s Orange Cassidy’s recent photograph.
WWE and AEW comparisons have been the favorite small talk of the internet wrestling community. The promotions have engaged in ruthless competition since their inception and have ended up producing storylines, decisions, and angles in close resemblance to each other. While the ratings war has been at the forefront of these talks, recently fans spotted AEW stalwart, Orange Cassidy’s dashing outlook comprises a bunch of bracelets. This finding invoked memories of CM Punk, who had a humiliating piece of memory attached to his bracelet on WWE TV.
CM Punk’s bracelet story dates back to June. After Punk cost McIntyre a win at Clash of the Castle, the Scottish Warrior fired back at him at the next blue brand edition. He left Punk bloodied and battered in a brutal backstage attack. But the assault was not only physical. Mclntyre carried him over the stage and took out his bracelet that had his wife’s and dog’s name engraved on it. The 39-year-old wore that precious accessory himself, denoting his intention to win the Money in the Bank briefcase and achieve supremacy.

In WWE, that would mean he's extremely important given the level of significance a bracelet has. And he has not just ONE, but FIVE!!! throw the bag at the man. Give him stock in the company and a private jet with his face on it.

What’s your perspective on:
Is CM Punk losing his edge, or is Orange Cassidy just that good?
Have an interesting take?
CM and Drew McIntyre have had a long saga of rivalry. Ever since Punk resumed his last hurrah in WWE, Mclntyre has been vocal about his hate for the former world champion. However, the bad blood finally saw Mclntyre getting the upper hand. Relating to that bracelet jibe, fans jokingly advised Cassidy’s opponents to follow in the footsteps of Mclntyre to ensure a last laugh.
His opponent should just steal it to guarantee victory!

Despite the Punk-Mclntyre storyline having a lot of spice in it, a few fans expressed their disdain for it due to its exaggerated and prolonged nature. They deem Cassidy’s one far better in the wake of the funny collation
