WWE Money in the Bank 2020: 3 reasons why Drew McIntyre should win

3. Drew McIntyre needs a memorable start

It’s not enough for Drew McIntyre to merely prolong the first month of his WWE Championship reign by defeating Seth Rollins at WWE Money in the Bank 2020. No, the reason why he is receiving such a strong challenger after winning Raw’s top male belt at WrestleMania is so that he can be put over as a serious champion, in the same way Rollins was put over at last year’s Money in the Bank Pay Per View when he defeated AJ Styles in an instant classic.

Last year’s Styles vs. Rollins clash set a high bar, given that it’s been ranked by WWE and others as one of the best matches of the past 10 years. McIntyre vs. Rollins, given the chemistry they flashed in 2018 and McIntyre’s status as being at the absolute top of his game, could be just as good as Seth’s 2019 MITB battle with The Phenomenal One.

A massive win in an instant classic over one of WWE’s biggest stars in the past decade would mean everything to Drew McIntyre as a champion. It would add to his legend, which has grown since his elimination of Brock Lesnar, Royal Rumble victory, killer Claymores on The Beast, and WrestleMania 36 triumph.

McIntyre’s win over Rollins won’t just be the start of a memorable title reign on Raw. It will be the next chapter in his rise to being truly recognized as one of WWE’s top stars. The company is all-in on the Scottish Psychopath.
