Below are some top WWE news stories of the day, involving Drew McIntyre and Mark Henry.
• During an interview with Cultaholic, Drew McIntyre was asked if he and CM Punk are similar.
Here’s what The Scottish Warrior said:
“No, absolutely not. I believe that maybe now I have some similarities to Punk in the past and not the terrible similarities that include a genuine and horrible person, and I believe he still is just very good at putting on an act.
But he was anti-establishment. He did speak his mind, even if people didn’t always agree with him or believe him. It was his truth, and he always marched to the beat of his own drum and spoken the truth, even if he meant to be a d*ck because he was, but now that’s not the case.
He is the corporate shill. He is always trying to do whatever you can do to make the bosses happy, kiss their butts and make sure you can justify that big contract.
Well, Drew McIntyre says exactly how he feels, marching to the beat of his own drum and doing what I know is right for not just myself or the company. And I’m being a good person while I do it, and the thing that he hates most probably about me is that I am more CM Punk than CM Punk now.”

• WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry is retired from in-ring competition. His last match was the 50-man Greatest Royal Rumble Match in Saudi Arabia in April 2018.
Henry wanted to have an official retirement match, and even teased it after joining AEW, but it never happened.
During an interview with Chris Van Vliet, Henry revealed that his health issues prevented that from happening.
Here’s what the former World Heavyweight Champion said:
“Yeah, my body said, man, f**k your plan! My back gave out. It just never allowed me, and I can probably have surgery. I keep putting it off because I just want to keep moving around. But eventually, I’m gonna have to just get it fixed.”
