Continuing to troll CM Punk ahead of their SummerSlam match, Drew McIntyre took things up a notch on Thursday.

McIntyre tweeted a new photo of himself and AEW wrestler Jack Perry, captioning it with “It’s a real photo, cry us a river.” McIntyre’s joke played off the friction that existed between Punk and Perry in AEW. The two had a backstage altercation at All In last year that ultimately led to Punk returning to WWE after getting fired by AEW.

The issues between Punk and Perry stemmed from Punk rejecting a spot using glass that Perry wanted to do on AEW Collision. While facing Hook at All In 2023, Perry looked into the camera and said: “You know what this is right here? Real glass. Go cry me a river.” Punk then confronted Perry backstage after the match.

AEW aired footage of the Punk-Perry altercation on Dynamite this April.

McIntyre is facing Punk at WWE SummerSlam on Saturday, August 3. In storyline, they have been heated rivals for months. McIntyre has repeatedly trolled Punk on social media during their program, including bringing up Punk’s real-life rivalry with Colt Cabana in a tweet earlier this week.

A torn triceps has kept Punk out of action since January, but he’s now been cleared to return to the ring. Seth Rollins will be the special guest referee for Punk vs. McIntyre at SummerSlam.
