5 possible WWE Championship opponents for Drew McIntyre
Buddy Murphy
We haven’t seen much of Buddy Murphy on Raw lately, but Seth Rollins’ right-hand man should be ticketed for a massive 2020. Murphy is one of the best athletes in the company and did a fantastic job leading an entire division when he was 205 Live’s top star as the Cruiserweight Champion.
Last year, Murphy had great matches on SmackDown with Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns before making his way to Raw, where he’s become one of many wrestlers Paul Heyman is ready to make an important part of the show.
An early title match with Drew McIntyre could do wonders for both Murphy and the current WWE Champion. Both men have the strength and explosiveness to put on a tremendous television match, and Murphy could earn even more respect from Rollins by pushing the champion to his absolute limit.
Andrade
Although Andrade will have to drop the United States Championship in order to have a WWE Title match with Drew McIntyre, he’s held the title for a few months now and could realistically drop the title to rising star Humberto Carrillo – or even someone else – this summer.
WWE could also do a little champion vs. champion match on Raw between McIntyre and Andrade as a way of putting both men over, making McIntyre look like the most dominant male champion on the brand by eventually winning.
Next. This should be the SummerSlam 2020 main event. dark
El Idolo is one of the best wrestlers in the company, and he will win the WWE Championship one day. Always a favorite for the Money in the Bank briefcase, if the beloved Pay Per View does end up happening in 2020, a seed could be planted for Andrade winning the briefcase and working with Zelina Vega to target an attack on McIntyre’s title.
