We get a ref bump as the ref is sent to floor, crashing into the barricade by Priest, which was an accident. Drew hits Priest with a claymore…an official runs to the ring, and counts, but Priest kicks out at two. The official is CM PUNK! The fans boo! Drew gets in the face of Punk, who is in the corner. Punk then low-blows Drew. The ref then gets back in the ring as he didn’t see Punk had low-blowed Drew. Priest then picks up Drew and drops him hard to the mat with a south of heaven chokeslam. Priest covers Drew to get the pin and retains the championship. The fans are quiet and in disbelief. Punk high fives some fans at ringside who are Punk fans.
As Drew recovers in disbelief, the show goes off the air.
Winner by pinfall and still WWE World Heavyweight Champion: Damian Priest
I am not sure what @MikeTedescoWV would have thought of the finish, but even though it furthers the storyline with CM Punk and Drew McIntyre, it still felt like a cheap way for Priest to go over. #WWECastle. — Wrestleview.com (@wrestleview) June 15, 2024
