During a recent discussion, former AEW and WWE wrestler Matt Hardy shared his perspective on the WWE WrestleMania segment featuring Drew McIntyre and CM Punk. Hardy expressed that the segment was well done, giving McIntyre the spotlight after his World Heavyweight Championship win. The unexpected attack by Punk on McIntyre resulted in Damian Priest capitalizing on his Money in the Bank contract and claiming the title.
Hardy commended Punk for his recent work in WWE and emphasized how the segment effectively raised Priest as a rising star in the company. Despite Priest being older than McIntyre, Hardy viewed WWE’s decision to promote new talent positively. He praised the overall execution of the segment and how it positively impacted all parties involved.
