Rowan, Aleister Black, Buddy Murphy and Drew McIntyre are all in for healthy 2020s according to The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer.

The former Wyatt Family man has been a feature player (of a fashion) on the red brand recently, carrying a cage with a mystery...thing...in it to the ring before destroying pitiful jobbers that go looking to crack the case. Meltzer suggested that Vince McMahon was "heavily behind" this push despite there being no obvious direction for the audience as to what exactly resides in his covered compartment.

Black, Murphy and McIntyre are all apparently also on The Chairman's nice list too, which may explain why the 'Scottish Psychopath' was booked to say as much in a post-squash promo on the December 23rd edition of Monday Night Raw. Black and Murphy are currently booked in a programme against each other, but have been given a series of dominant squashes to get their respective points across since first going to war at December's Tables, Ladders & Chairs 2019 pay-per-view.

Meltzer also often has to qualify his stories and rumours with "plans change", but the above will hope this isn't the case, not least with the Road To WrestleMania just around the corner...
