4 Ups & 9 Downs From WWE Raw (2 Aug)

3. Drew McIntyre Tries To Kill People

Drew McIntyre's feud with Jinder Mahal, Veer, and Shanky fully jumped the shark last night, if it hadn't already, because WWE is trying to make you believe that McIntyre slashing somebody with a sword is something that could realistically happen on their shows.

McIntyre swung "Angela" (named after his late mother) at Jinder and co., who deflected the blows with their steel chairs. When Veer and Jinder bailed, he pointed it at Shanky, who sold terror, as if he was about to be gutted. Later, a petrified Jinder fled the building with his crew.

The only way this could get dumber (and harder to invest in) would be if WWE booked a decapitation match for Extreme Rules, then had Drew lop off a stunt Jinder head for the finish (a la Rey Mysterio's eyeball at The Horror Show). Then, of course, Jimmy Smith and co. would explain that Mahal has had his bonce surgically re-attached and will be ready to go in a week or two.

Shanky and Veer lost their handicap match, which ended when Mahal attacked McIntyre with a chair. This triggered the shenanigans.
