1. Drew McIntyre’s Full-On Heel Turn

Drew McIntyre sported an Undertaker-style (at 'Mania XXV when HBK kicked out of another Tombstone) baffled face after losing to Seth Rollins at Crown Jewel. The Scot had swaggered into the show believing destiny would see him through, but Rollins' title reign raged on despite niggling back issues playing a big part in the story too.

Everything about the pair's match clicked on Saturday, so another round come Survivor Series isn't out of the question. To get there, McIntyre will presumably kick the living sh*t out of Seth on Raw and turn full-blown heel. He's overdue that kind of menace.

This is about to get tasty.

Who knows what the future holds for Drew long-term, or if he'll ink a fresh extension on his WWE contract? That's his business. On TV, his character requires a bit of a facelift regardless. A vicious turn to the dark side for the first time since 2019 would be perfect.
