6 Ups And 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (October 15)
2. No Scottish Pushove
Since returning to WWE, Drew McIntyre has been pretty well-protected. He’s been portrayed as a dominant wrestler who is about as tough as any man at the top of the roster, rarely – if ever – losing unless it’s via count-out.
So Monday night, after Braun Strowman attacked Drew’s tag-team partner Dolph Ziggler, McIntyre wasted little time in flattening Braun with a Claymore Kick. The assault pretty much signaled the end of the trio’s brief alliance, which existed to serve as a counterweight to The Shield.
If this actually is going to play out, it could signal a new phase for McIntyre, who is currently one-half of the Raw Tag Team Champions. Drew certainly is championship material, and perhaps this will nudge him in that direction a little more beyond being the heavy in a tag team.
