After CM Punk caused Drew McIntyre to lose his match against Damian Priest for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Clash of the Castle in his home country of Scotland, McIntyre apparently has had enough. During this week's episode of Monday Night Raw, McIntyre declared that he quit WWE. He also deactivated his account on X: DREW MCINTYRE JUST WALKED OUT OF WWE RAW! 😲😲😲 pic.

twitter.com/yiwOmf2Mnh McIntyre lost to Priest in demoralizing fashion when Punk appeared in the closing moments in a referee shirt and delivered a low blow that halted McIntyre's momentum and allowed Priest to capitalize. McIntyre has been in the midst of a tough stretch that has clearly affected his state of mind.
His triumphant moment of defeating Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40 in April was ruined when Priest cashed in his Money in the Bank contract and ended his reign after just five minutes. A run-in with Punk preceded McIntyre's unceremonious defeat, and the two of them have been circling each other ever since. Punk was originally expected to face Rollins at WrestleMania 40, but a torn triceps suffered at the hands of McIntyre in the men's Royal Rumble match in January derailed those plans.
McIntyre has been one of the top stars in WWE since he returned to the company in 2017, so it's likely that his walkout on Monday is just part of a deeper storyline. If Punk can recov.
