Now that is how you blow off a feud.

December was a weird month for Drew McIntyre, who lost his first match during this run in WWE against Dolph Ziggler, lost a PPV match to Finn Balor and lost a triple threat match against both men last week.

Monday, he had the blow-off match with Ziggler in a steel cage. Thankfully, McIntyre didn’t just win the match, he obliterated Dolph. McIntyre counted a superkick with a Claymore Kick, then hit another for the pin. As if that wasn’t good enough, he returned to the ring and used a steel chair for another Claymore, then returned again to hit a fourth Claymore on poor Dolph, effectively ending their rivalry.

Well, it better have ended the feud. If not, someone should be fired. McIntyre looked like a beast here and hopefully is beyond this poor month of crap.
