4. Rebuilding Drew McIntyre

Let the rebuild begin.

A protracted feud with Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss did nothing for one Drew McIntyre. In fact, if anything, it pulled him further away from another go at main events, and that was rubbish to see. Leave it to Sami Zayn, people - he'll get the best out of anybody.

The way Sami got scared sh*tless when he challenged anybody to a fight and Drew marched into view was majestic. Then, to compound a plan to put McIntyre over before the match had even started, Zayn cowered away from the big Scot throughout.

It wasn't much of a proper match, to be fair, but Sami being scared and Drew barely breaking a sweat made all the sense in the world. Now, these dudes can look forward to a rematch. It's one Zayn will have to cheat in, which is fine. That still shouldn't be enough to derail McIntyre.
