Reacting to this announcement, CM Punk posted a humorous edit on his Instagram story, featuring McIntyre’s Clash at The Castle poster with actor Steven Seagal’s face superimposed over Drew’s head:
• World Heavyweight Champion & Judgment Day leader Damian Priest tweeted the following about Dominik Mysterio accidentally helping Liv Morgan in defeating Becky Lynch for the Women’s World Championship at King & Queen of the Ring:
“What!? From bad to worse… smh”
While Rhea Ripley hasn’t issued a statement on Liv’s title win, she did like Damian’s tweet to show that she’s upset about Dirty Dom’s mistake.
