Move over Edge/Adam Copeland. You've just been supplanted as WWE's biggest heel opportunist. Drew McIntyre draped an arm over LA Knight following AJ's steel chair ambush, then gleefully capitalised on Logan Paul's brass buckles attack to pin Randy Orton the same way later.

His next move is gunning down Seth Rollins and becoming World Champ.

Oh, don't screw up your face like that! Seth has had his time as World Heavyweight Champion. Besides, big Drew didn't get to enjoy his WWE Title reign in front of fans due to the ongoing pandemic several years ago, so it'd be a sweet moment for him to taste title success in front of a massive live crowd at 'Mania.

McIntyre has been stellar as a heel too, and he'd be an excellent gateway villain for the eventual return of CM Punk. There's money in Drew vs. Punk straight away, and then WWE can hit the reset button right back to Punk vs. Rollins.

Everyone's a winner.
