7 Ups & 5 Downs From WWE Raw (20 Nov - Results & Review)

2. A Logical Position

Damn those heels making sense for why they turned.

Drew McIntyre opened Raw Monday night and delivered the promo that his character has been building up to for the past couple of months, finally imploding last week and costing Jey Uso (and Cody Rhodes) the tag titles by booting Jey.

The Scottish Warrior noted very simply that he was the same person he’s been this entire time, that he’s simply held Jey to account for his and his family’s actions, that Uso has never apologized for what he did, and that last week essentially was a receipt for Clash at the Castle.

Perhaps that was McIntyre’s best point, noting that his entire family – whom he had left behind when he went to America to wrestle – was at the PLE where the Bloodline cost him the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. “Your family bloody took that from my family!” was a pretty powerful line, and it was hard to dispute his point of view.

Of course, Drew is the villain here regardless, but this is the kind of heel turn and justification that will continue to sting during the next several weeks as McIntyre continues to slide further into heeldom, slowly compromising his morals and becoming exactly who he despises.
