Report: Huge Feud Planned For WWE Champion Drew McIntyre
Here's who WWE Champion Drew McIntyre could be feuding with after Survivor Series 2020...
New WWE Champion Drew McIntyre could be set for a feud with apparent on-air buddy Sheamus.
This is the word of Dave Meltzer, who talked about the situation during today's episode of Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Meltzer noted that while there was talk of Sheamus potentially costing McIntyre last night's WWE Title match with Randy Orton, the promotion decided to hold off, opting for a slow-burning feud between the Scot and Irishman.
Recent backstage segments involving McIntyre and Sheamus are being done to establish the duo as friends before WWE pulls the trigger on the feud. This will likely mean Sheamus turning on Drew somewhere down the line.
McIntyre has previously talked up the prospect of feuding with the 'Celtic Warrior', telling Sports Illustrated that they could "include so many parts of our past in that feud that have never been featured on television."
McIntyre defeated Orton in a 25-minute main event on last night's Raw. He is now a two-time WWE Champion after regaining the belt from 'The Viper', who took the strap at Hell In A Cell 2020, felling Drew inside the titular structure. Randy's 14th World Title reign ended at 22 days.
