CM Punk is said to be ‘jealous’ of Drew McIntyre’s new WWE deal after huge salary announcement

Cm Punk had to leave AEW without serving out his entire contract due to the infamous backstage altercation that got him fired. Tony Khan is known for offering wrestlers high-paying contracts to prevent them from moving to another promotion. Now that Punk has moved on to WWE, he may or may not get paid that much.

CM Punk accused of jealousy over rival salary rumors

Ryback discussed Drew McIntyre’s salary on his podcast. There were rumors that Tony Khan had offered him a multi-million dollar contract with some perks. WWE had to up their offer to $4 million to keep McInture with the promotion. This is something that Ryback thinks could get CM Punk in trouble.

The retired wrestler explained how Punk has his merchandise and royalties that can continue to generate income for him and potentially sustain his lifestyle. However, Ryback also added“He is a very jealous person. It’s crazy. That is it. And that’s just the way he is, he needs drama and conflict in his life to wake up every day, unfortunately. And that’s never going to happen, it’s never going to change.“

While Ryback’s perception of Punk being jealous cannot be considered right or wrong from afar, Punk seemed quite happy for his now on-screen rival as he secured a championship for himself for the first time.

CM Punk was happy for McIntyre at the time

In 2020, Drew McIntyre became a WWE Champion for the first time in his wrestling career after his match at WrestleMania 36. After this achievement, he was officially interviewed and asked some interesting questions. The Scot was also asked how things would have been different if he had gotten this opportunity back during the early years of his wrestling career.

Later, while CM Punk was live on Instagram, a wrestling fan reminded him of the news that The Scottish Psychopath had finally become champion. Punk publicly congratulated McIntyre, showing that he was genuinely happy with his growth. However, the Chicago-based wrestler. had also reminded McIntyre that confidence is not a good way to progress and that he needed to leave this attitude behind as reigning champion.
