There's only one main event that sounds right for September's Clash At The Castle stadium show in Cardiff: Drew McIntyre vs. Roman Reigns. WWE's problem is how to get there without giving in to temptation and having the pair collide at HIAC, MITB or SummerSlam.

Christ, the calendar is pretty busy eh?!

Understatement of the year contender there, granted. Still, there's an easy way to keep Drew busy in the interim and make sure he's a fire-breathing dragon (ahem) before getting to Wales - WWE should give McIntyre a healthy winning streak. Honestly, he doesn't need to lose at all before Clash.

Fans will forgive this, because Drew is believably dominant and likeable enough that peeps won't turn on him before September. Multi-man gimmick bouts like Money In The Bank wouldn't count either, 'cause McIntyre wouldn't be taking a fall or tapping out even if he didn't haul down the briefcase.

That's reserved for somebody else anyway...
