7 Ups And 9 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (April 1)

by Scott Carlson

1. McIntyre Closes Strong

It’s almost a shame that Drew McIntyre is being fed to Roman Reigns for his comeback match.

McIntyre has been killing it as the jerk heel who keeps coming at his opponent. Monday, Reigns was doing a backstage interview claiming he was 100% back, when Drew attacked him and pummeled Roman. He yelled that Reigns “should have said ‘no,’ ” and that he hoped that Roman saw his face when he slept at night.

It was the kind of blindside that leaves you hoping that the villain gets his, which is what will likely happen at WrestleMania. Reigns will have to work for it, but he stands to get revenge on a dominant heel who’s had one up on him throughout this mini-feud.

He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
