If we're honest, we were all a little bit concerned when Drew McIntyre debuted on the main roster as the modern day Diesel to Dolph Ziggler's Shawn Michaels, and beat up Titus Worldwide.

Here was someone who completely reinvented himself in his three years away from WWE, and immediately established himself as a force to be reckoned with in NXT, arguably being reduced to Ziggler's heavy.

Thankfully, we needn't have worried, WWE haven't got a clue how to book a babyface in 2018, but if it's a heel wrestler that Vince McMahon can't get enough of, they know exactly what to do.

McIntyre has looked phenomenal since arriving on Monday Night RAW; he was a monster in Ziggler's corner, won the RAW Tag Team Championship, absolutely dominated Kurt Angle - submitting him with his own move, and was one of the survivors on RAW's Survivor Series team.

The way WWE have handled Drew since his April return should inspire confidence that they do, on occasion, know how to book wrestlers correctly. Furthermore, his eventual match for the Universal Championship in the near future should be highly-anticipated because it's going to be amazing.
