Wade Barrett Calls For CM Punk’s Job Following WWE Clash At The Castle
“We have a guy in CM Punk who has materially derailed a massive show. It was the biggest arena gate of all time, as we just learned. He derailed it; he derailed a World Heavyweight Championship match, the dreams of millions of Scottish people, and, of course, Drew McIntyre. He should have been thrown out of the building,” Wade Barrett said. “Or, in fact, he should have been thrown out for his own safety first of all. But to invite him to a press conference after that, give the guy donuts, and throw softball questions at him.
“First of all, those journalists should be ashamed of themselves. And then to have the leader of this industry, the leader of WWE, a man who I have consistently respected, Triple H, come out and answer these issues with quotes like, ‘I’m happy to have Phil Brooks back. This is the Phil Brooks I want to see. Thrilled and excited to work with him.’ And here’s the real kicker, ‘Thank you, CM Punk, for helping change the culture behind the scenes at WWE.’ I cannot respect any of that. That is nonsense. The man is poison.” Will Wade Barrett confront CM Punk on SmackDown this Friday?CM Punk stated that he will appear on SmackDown this Friday to give an update on his medical status. With Wade Barrett at the commentator’s table on Friday nights, perhaps this outburst from Barrett is setting the stage for Friday’s show. We’ll find out soon enough. |
Wade Barrett has had enough of CM Punk and wants justice for Drew McIntyre following what transpired at WWE Clash at the Castle. During the WWE Clash at the Castle Post Show, Wade Barrett didn’t mix words on how he feels about CM Punk and called for the RAW Superstar’s job following this afternoon’s premium live event. “That was the biggest screwjob in history, just beating Bret Hart,” Wade Barrett said. “That is the new number one. There is a huge shadow cast upon this entire industry thanks to the actions of CM Punk. And I reiterate what I said on the mic just then: CM Punk needs to be fired by WWE management. For once, show some balls. Do what you’re supposed to do. This is a guy who was not medically cleared to be in contact with any wrestler. “He has now materially affected the outcome of two heavyweight championship matches. You guys need to do something about it. Restore some honor, some integrity to this issue. He has just screwed over an entire nation and Drew McIntyre. You think I’m worked up? I just had to try and calm down McIntyre who just stormed out of the arena. I hope CM is long gone because if he’s not, there’s going to be hell to pay.”
When Big E implied that Barrett’s friend with McIntyre was creating some bias with his thought process, Barrett wanted to hear none of it. “It’s about right and wrong; there’s no friendship about it,” Wade Barrett fired back. “Call it down the middle. What would a lawyer say here? That guy shouldn’t be here. That guy needs to be fired. He is a disgrace.” Wade Barrett doesn’t respect Triple H’s comments, calls CM Punk poison CM Punk and Triple H later addressed the media during the post-show press conference, which infuriated Barrett even more. |
CM Punk screws Drew McIntyre at Clash at the Castle
He low blowed McIntyre and smiled looking on as Priest hit South of Heaven just as the ref recovered enough to get back in the ring to count McIntyre down.

WrestleMania 40 may have been one of the biggest moments of Drew McIntyre’s career, but it lasted a matter of minutes. The next biggest moment was always set up to be the main event of today’s (Sat., June 15, 2024) Clash at the Castle premium live event back home at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland.
Another world heavyweight championship match, this time against the man who ruined his big moment in Philadelphia, Damian Priest. The entire match felt like a slow build to a crowning moment, the crowd eager to explode at the finish and its hometown hero making good on his promises. Priest battled, however, throwing some of his best at the challenger. Then, the dreaded ref bump. Of course, that’s when McIntyre got a big enough Claymore to score the visual pinfall. The crowd counted all the way up to 10 while a new official ran in and counted to two before stopping. Because it wasn’t an official at all. It was CM Punk. |
Former AEW Star Jeff Hardy Returns To TNA Wrestling After Against All Odds Main Event
The crowd seemed to anticipate some unadvertised help, chanting "Jeff" before Nic and Ryan Nemeth, along with Joe Hendry, came down to help, but it wasn't until that familiar Hardy theme song hit that the audience got what it was waiting for. Jeff, whose AEW contract reportedly expired just today, and who last appeared for TNA/Impact in early 2017, cleared the ring of Moose's pesky System minions, and then hit a Twist of Fate on the champ for good measure, followed by Matt doing the same, and all of The Hardy Family, The Nemeths, and Hendry, celebrating with "delete" chants and raised hands as the pay-per-view went off the air.

After a chaotic ending to a tightly-contested Broken Rules Match for the TNA World Championship that saw "Broken" Matt Hardy come up just short against Moose, it was only fitting that Brother Nero would make an appearance in the aftermath. Jeff Hardy, newly freed from his AEW servitude, hit the ring to make the save as Matt, his wife Rebecca Hardy, and their allies were outnumbered by The System, sending the TNA crowd into a frenzy. "The Broken One's" efforts truly were barely pushed aside by the incumbent champion, who was dead to rights after a Twist of Fate with his head wrapped around a chair. But Alisha Edwards went nuts wielding a kendo stick to break up the pinfall attempt, which caught the attention of Rebecca, who ran down to the ring and hit Edwards with a Twist of Fate of her own. Her noble intentions, however, led directly to the match's finish as, with Moose primed for a Spear through a table in the corner, the champion pulled Reby into his place and Matt speared his own wife through the wood instead. Moose finished things off with his own Spear, hanging onto his championship, before the postmatch beatdown on Team Hardy ensued.

TNA's Mike Bailey Details Incident That Earned Him Five-Year United States Ban..
Bailey was issued the ban on-site, and later learned that he could have potentially been given a lifetime ban from entering the United States. Thankfully, Bailey stayed busy working outside of the country in the interim, making a bigger name for himself in promotions such as DDT and RevPro. Since his re-entry, Bailey has become an important player for TNA as well as GCW.

TNA Wrestling star "Speedball" Mike Bailey has built up a reputation for incredibly strong in-ring work over the last few years, despite the fact that he was barred from entering the United States from 2016 to 2021. Appearing on "Talk Is Jericho," Bailey explained that his banning came after border agents discovered he was attempting to work an EVOLVE event without a work visa.
"So [I was] crossing the border as I had many, many times, saying ... I'm gonna do a tryout," Bailey said. "They pulled out my phone and kind of took it to the back of the room, and spent an hour with it, and then came back and were like, 'We know you're lying. We know you're getting paid.' So that was a five-year ban right then." According to Bailey, he had successfully made it through the border to wrestle previous times without incident, but something had apparently clued off the agents that he was worth looking into. Bailey was told he could make an official statement to avoid jail time and the wrestler complied, without knowing there were additional consequences of his admitting guilt. "I didn't even know that a five-year ban was on the table," Bailey continued. "I'd never heard of that happening to any pro wrestlers. I'd heard of many, many people being turned around, because they [were] suspected and flagged and [were] unable to go. ... I kind of just complied and gave them the whole story." |
