Eighteen months prior, Reigns and McIntyre put on a clash that no one really cared about at WrestleMania. Neither man had much momentum, the pair were given little time, and while the bout was fine, it was swiftly forgotten.

Fast toward to late 2020 and things had changed considerably - the Tribal Chief and the Scottish Psychopath were pure money, and they put on a high impact clash befitting of their positions on the roster. These two big lads whipped each other for 20 minutes, with nothing but pride and fighting spirit on the line.

The finish was a neat one, protecting both guys with Reigns using his trusty guillotine to choke Drew out after a distraction from Jey. But there were no losers here - just two guys enjoying an exceptional 2020 in the strangest of circumstances.

The only thing missing was the build, which was decidedly rushed. Next time they lock horns, no doubt they’ll be given a larger stage still, and will hopefully be given the space to tell the story they’re clearly capable of.
