Last night on Monday Night RAW, Drew McIntyre became a two time WWE Champion when he defeated Randy Orton once again. It was a great match, perhaps the best match they’ve had yet, and helped prove that McIntyre has staying power in the main event. We know his next stop is Roman Reigns at Survivor Series in a Champion vs. Champion match, but what will be his first title defense in his new reign?
Sheamus To Turn On Drew McIntyre?
In a storyline that hasn’t been seen since the days of Sting & Lex Luger, a face & heel are friends backstage. Sheamus & Drew McIntyre go way back, all the way to the dusty warehouses of Florida Championship Wrestling. They’ve rekindled this friendship, with Sheamus even gifting McIntyre a kilt & claymore ahead of his WWE Championship match with Randy Orton.
People don’t expect this friendship to last long, especially with McIntyre having something Sheamus wants now. They have never met in a big TV match, their last match being in 2012, when McIntyre was essentially a jobber and on his way to being part of 3MB. Sheamus has been doing great work this past year, and a high level slugfest with McIntyre could be a perfect first defense for McIntyre.
The Miz Could Use His MITB Contract Before A Proper Defense Happens
While he didn’t cash in after McIntyre won the championship on RAW, The Miz will have the pick of the litter at the end of Survivor Series. McIntyre & Roman Reigns should absolutely destroy each other, as good of a chance to cash in MITB as The Miz might ever see. This could be the next step for McIntyre, trying to either win back the WWE Championship, or just eliminate Miz before he gets a chance to use that contract. If nothing else, it could ride out the rest of 2020.
McIntyre already ran through the field of Monday Night RAW in his previous reign as champion, and the draft hasn’t given him many new challengers. Who would you like to see step up to the new WWE Champion? Will you be happy with anyone except Randy Orton? Let us know what you think in the comment section down below.
