No one is looking forward to a classic match between Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal at SummerSlam. Frankly, it’s probably going to be boring and plodding if the Maharaja has anything to say about it.

But this feud is doing one thing: It’s reheating McIntyre after WWE spent the past five months cooling him off something fierce. Drew seems to have found that edge that served him well at times as champ last year, as he waffled Shanky last week 34 times with two steel chairs, and then took the fight to Veer.

After a DQ loss (thanks to a chair Jinder introduced into the match), McIntyre levelled Mahal’s lawyer with a Claymore (complete with him flipping the attorney off first) to pop the crowd. And hey, if he can get the fans to chant, “Drew is gonna kill you!” at Jinder, then that’s fine by us.
