Braun Strowman appears to be the first in a number of high-profile moves between the flagship shows.

Many names have been put forward of superstars who are in dire need of a change of scenery, but arguably the one who needs a fresh start the most is Drew McIntyre.

A feel-good win over McIntyre in Roman Reigns' return match at WrestleMania following leukemia was almost mandatory, yet the Scottish Psychopath managed to maintain his aura in defeat.

Following a difficult few months where he went from a possible WrestleMania main eventer to an afterthought for 'The Grandest Stage of Them All', Drew has re-established himself as a force to be reckoned with.

Nevertheless, despite brutalising all three members of The Shield in the build to Mania, it would be a tough-sell to put him near the Raw title picture. On SmackDown though, it's a different story.

McIntyre's ominous arrival on Tuesday accompanying Sheamus & Cesaro in their match against The New Day is perhaps a signal of intent from WWE.

A rematch against Daniel Bryan would seem to be the logical next step for Kingston, but whether it's at the next pay-per-view or down the line, Drew McIntyre is the perfect threat to Kofi's hugely-popular title reign.
