WWE Stomping Grounds: 10 Things That Must Happen

6. Drew McIntyre Beats Roman Reigns

This is a tough one. Someone has to lose, and all signs are pointing towards another Roman Reigns win over champagne-drinking, ex-tag-partner-beating, Shane-O-Mac-helping Drew McIntyre. Don't forget that Reigns lost under screwy circumstances in Saudi Arabia at Super ShowDown. It'd be pretty unique for WWE to book back-to-back losses for their poster boy.

It must happen.

One of the main issues fans have had with Roman for years is that he rarely seems in jeopardy. Heels can talk smack to him all they like, they're inevitably put in their place ASAP. It's about time he had some kayfabe struggles to (hopefully) rebuild some lost sympathy that's been fading since Reigns' emotional return from battling cancer.

A McIntyre win, even if it's aided by McMahon, and a serious post-match kicking would help. Drew desperately needs to be cast as more than just Shane's lumbering heavy. He has potential to challenge for the top prizes once his association with Mr. 'Best In The World' ends.
