10 Best WWE Promos Of 2018

3. Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre's Locker Room Rant (Raw - 23 April)

One can only imagine Vince McMahon licking his chops as 'Scottish Terminator' Drew McIntyre blasted the locker room for going "soft" then said he was the "wakeup call and reality check this place desperately needs" on the 23 April Raw. The boss probs had to excuse himself from Gorilla and run off to do 10,000 bicep curls whilst shouting in a mirror.

Picture it.

When you're finished, picture McIntyre as Universal Champion at some point in 2019. This was the beginning of his road towards that inevitable goal, and it was obvious there was some truth behind his words. Drew, a notoriously hard worker, does believe that everyone is responsible for their own success. He's said that in interviews before.

Again, this was another short-ish promo. So what. When the material, delivery and fury is this strong, debating length shouldn't come into it. This, ladies and gentleman, set the table for Dolph Ziggler's revival and Drew's ascent.
