More Details On CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins Promo (Patreon)

CM Punk, Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins' promo on WWE Raw restored the feeling, as the kids say.

The buzzworthy promo saw each man taking shots at one another repeatedly during the show. It had a much more loose feeling, and if those in WWE are to be believed, it was as scripted as many other we've seen. This would seem obvious in the past, but even some of the most emotional promos that many thought weren't scripted, ended up being scripted word for word. Instead, the claim internally is that there was a general outline, and are told that the talent knew they were all going to just go for it and see what happens.

The promo was listed as one segment, and was produced by Adam Pearce, as there was physicality between Rollins and McIntyre. We're told that WWE production wasn't anticipating CM Punk's line where he cursed, and there was a memo sent to talent recently that discouraged them from swearing on the air.

We haven't heard of any issues backstage after the promos as it relates to heat or anything of that sort, and things have continued to appear well with Punk in WWE.
