5 possible WWE Championship opponents for Drew McIntyre

Kevin Owens

Although Drew McIntyre will likely be a babyface after defeating Lesnar in the main event of WrestleMania 36 and getting a documentary made about his incredible comeback to the company, he can absolutely play the tweener role and feud with a top-notch babyface.

There may not be a male babyface on Raw with as much momentum as Kevin Owens, who was taken to his limit by Rollins at WrestleMania. But after begging for a “No Disqualification” match after Rollins hit him with the timekeeper’s bell, Owens dug down deep and jumped off the WrestleMania sign to eventually pick up a victory via the Stunner.

After picking up his first WrestleMania moment, Owens is riding high and has every right to challenge McIntyre for the championship. A former Universal Champion, KO has what it takes to win the WWE Title for the first time in his career.

Edge

Another babyface coming off an emotional victory at WrestleMania 36, Edge defeated long-time frenemy Randy Orton in a Last Man Standing match that took the wind out of everyone. As expected, Edge and Orton put each other through hell, and the final shot of Edge’s pained expression before he slammed the steel chair on Orton for the win was an Oscar-worthy moment that makes for a lasting image in WWE history.

What’s next for Edge? The Rated R Superstar should have the WWE Championship on his mind, and he is one of the few challengers who could truly scare McIntyre. Edge has the experience, as an 11-time world champion, and can find the perfect gameplan to challenge the new champion.
