Drew has to be turning heel soon, surely.

Nobody believes him as the babyface to dethone Roman Reigns these days, likely because he played both legs at home and still skied it over the bar during the shoot-out at Clash At The Castle. Remember when Scotland were eliminated from the World Cup?

They weren't good enough to compete, but for the sake of an analogy, had they qualified only to lose out, they wouldn't have sang karaoke (actually, Scotland boycotted Qatar 2022 on moral grounds - ed).

He has to turn, and perhaps a shock swift elimination, followed by a pissy rampage in which he eliminates that person right back, could act as the first phase of that.
