Drew McIntyre appeared at ringside on tonight’s SmackDown and delivered a scathing message, saying John Cena either fades away as a hero or sticks around long enough to become a hypocrite.
Climbing onto the announce desk, he continued mocking Cena, wondering what the 2011 version of Cena would think about him today. McIntyre claimed Cena holds enough power to end careers with a snap of his fingers and vowed to bury him. As he complained about being wronged throughout 2024, Damian Priest’s music interrupted him.
Priest walked out and calls McIntyre a constant complainer, but McIntyre insisted he’s just speaking the truth. Priest fired back, saying even R-Truth makes more sense than McIntyre. He reminded McIntyre that he cashed-in on him at WrestleMania 40 only because McIntyre was too distracted by his obsession with CM Punk. Priest then confidently declared he’ll pin McIntyre in the 2025 Men’s Elimination Chamber match tomorrow night.
Seth Rollins’ music hit, and he joined the confrontation, saying he couldn’t resist crashing the party. He reminded everyone that if not for Punk and McIntyre, he would have beaten Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship. Rollins then dismissed McIntyre, Priest, and the rest of the Elimination Chamber competitors, insisting none of them stand a chance.
CM Punk’s music played, and he joked about how great it is to be alive on a Friday night in Toronto before turning to Rollins, asking if he feels as good as he looks. Taking a jab at him, Punk said Rollins looks like something he overcooked and vowed to “cook him again” inside the Elimination Chamber.
While Punk has no personal issues with Priest, he warned that Priest will simply be collateral damage. He then pointed out that while Rollins and McIntyre are obsessed with him, his sole focus is on main eventing WrestleMania 41.
As Priest squared up with McIntyre, Rollins continued trading verbal shots with Punk, said Punk will never main event WrestleMania. Suddenly, John Cena’s music playrd, but instead of Cena, Logan Paul emerged, taunting the crowd for believing Cena was about to appear.

Logan mocked Rollins’ outfit, saying he looks like he lost a bet, then took a shot at McIntyre, comparing him to the Toronto Maple Leafs’ inability to win. He dismissed Priest as irrelevant, admitting he doesn’t even know much about him. Just as he turned his attention to Punk, Punk charged at him and chased him to the back.
