WWE Raw Predictions: Strowman and McIntyre Confront Lesnar

3. Drew McIntyre and Braun Strowman come face-to-face with The Beast

Brock Lesnar is currently scheduled to grace us with his glorious presence on Monday Night Raw.

The reigning, defending, and yes even undisputed, Universal Champion currently really has nothing to do on Raw though. Sure, he can bounce around like he normally does, who doesn’t like bouncing after all, but beyond that there’s not much reason for him to show up.

I suppose Heyman could cut a promo hyping Lesnar’s match with AJ Styles at Survivor Series, but really that match has sold itself already. Another Heyman promo hyping it really doesn’t add much when the match is less than a week away.

That’s why I suspect we will be getting a little more from The Beast this week in the form of a stare down with Braun Strowman and Drew McIntyre.

Strowman easily has a claim to the title right now, and will surely be ready to demand a rematch. That’s when McIntyre can come out. McIntyre now has a dominant, character-building win over a WWE Hall of Famer under his belt, along with a growing beef with Strowman. His inclusion in the Universal title picture should be virtually expected at this point.

When all is said and done, don’t expect anything more than a stare-down between these three though. Maybe Strowman and McIntyre throw some hands, but I would be surprised if this Lesnar appearance was used as anything more than a light tease for things to come.
