Drew McIntyre finally completed his heel turn last week when he assaulted Sami Zayn and put him on the shelf, then attacked Seth Rollins and Jey Uso after the main event.

Monday, the Scottish Warrior continued his descent by blatantly cheating to defeat Uso to open Raw. Drew’s remorseless approach still wasn’t enough to put Jey away, leaving him to use an exposed turnbuckle as a distraction to gouge Uso’s eyes, then nail a Claymore for the win.

Jey hung with Drew, but McIntyre kept using brutal, brute force to put Uso down. At one point, Jey punched away, with the fans chanting “Yeet!” on each one, only for McIntyre to deliver a single Glasgow Kiss to level Uso. But Jey wouldn’t be beaten, forcing Drew to resort to desperate measures.

With Sami Zayn and Jey now in Drew’s rear-view mirror, the next man up is going to have to keep his head on a swivel.
