Drew McIntyre had a final face-off with CM Punk on Monday Night RAW five days before the Hell in a Cell Match at the Bad Blood premium live event. It will settle their rivalry once and for all.
Once again, the two megastars engaged in a war of words this week, with The Best in the World telling The Scottish Warrior that he will end his career at Bad Blood. Meanwhile, Drew McIntyre referred to CM Punk's wife, AJ Lee, during his segment. He said that after Hell in a Cell, Punk will need his wife to take care of him, as he will be unable to move. He even said that Lee would eventually leave The Best in the World.
The former World Heavyweight Champion has referred to the former Divas Champion multiple times amid his rivalry with CM Punk. Thus, AJ Lee could come out of retirement at Bad Blood and distract Drew McIntyre to help her husband win.
It would be the perfect ending to the feud between the two megastars and could be the first step for AJ Lee's return to WWE after nearly a decade. The three-time WWE Divas Champion retired from wrestling in 2015, but CM Punk's return a year ago fueled reports on a likely return of his wife.

Drew McIntyre on talks with WWE creative team about his next storyline
Drew McIntyre and CM Punk will move on from their rivalry once their Hell in a Cell Match at Bad Blood is over. The Best in the World could take time off after Saturday's PLE, but his next storyline will focus on Seth Rollins.
It is unclear what Drew McIntyre's next move will be, but he has revealed that he has already discussed his next storyline with the WWE creative team.
"Whatever I do next, I’ve already told [WWE creative] you’re not gonna find something like this, because this is legitimate hatred, but I better have something I can buy into. That’s based in truth. That I can really have fun with, because you see what can happen if you give me something I truly believe in," McIntyre told Sports Ilustrated.
Given his status as a top star, he could challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship or go after the new Intercontinental Champion, Jey Uso. The other path would be to move to SmackDown and issue a challenge to the top babyface in WWE and Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes.
