WrestleMania 35 Wish List: A Focus On The Future (For The Most Part)
By John Brown
2. Drew McIntyre Defeats Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns is above the WWE law at this point. With John Cena no longer being a full-time attraction, Roman is the face of the company.
Returning from a courageous battle with leukemia might make one think that WWE would automatically have him continue riding his recent high with a win over Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 35.
If this is the case, WWE might be missing out on the chance to cement the top heel in the company.
Drew McIntyre’s ascension to top heel territory began with making Kurt Angle tap out to his own ankle lock as the WWE Universe began to realize that Angle was getting close to riding off into the sunset.
He excels best when he has the chance to put a dagger in the heart of a feel-good moment, a trend he continued when being instrumental in dispatching Dean Ambrose repeatedly on Raw in the midst of a Shield reunion.
When it comes to creating masterpieces based on killing feel-good moments. WrestleMania 35 could be the scene of McIntyre Sgt. Pepper’s.
In an era dominated by cool heels, Drew McIntyre has the opportunity to run with the WWE top heel spot, putting him in the position to be the “Chosen One” Vince dubbed him years ago.
With Brock Lesnar battling Rollins and Braun Strowman battling cars and comedians, Roman Reigns needs his Joker. He has it with Drew McIntyre. WrestleMania 35 needs to cement him in that position with a cheap win over Reigns.
