Draft Position: #3 to SmackDown. #5 overall.

Brand Switch: Raw to SmackDown.

Earlier, it was said that Bianca Belair had whisked through every program SmackDown's writers were going to think of. She needed a change of scenery, and the same thing could be said for Drew McIntyre. He badly needed to trade Raw for SmackDown and try something new.

What was the alternative? Feud with Lashley again?

McIntyre is the ideal rival for Roman Reigns too. They had an underrated scorcher of a match at Survivor Series 2020, and both must be begging to extend that one-off into a full-blown program of matches against one another. Now is their time - Drew ain't finished with those World Titles quite yet.
