WWE Survivor Series 2020: 10 Things That Must Happen

Beating Roman Reigns would be a huge mistake for WWE right now.

He's, by quite some margin, the most impressive character on the entire roster. The one-time smiling, goofy poster boy has reinvented himself as a peerless beast who looks better than ever and is only just getting started. It'd be a catastrophe if he lost to Drew McIntyre this weekend.

That's no criticism of the new WWE Champ - it's just fact. SmackDown needs a strong Roman more than ever, and McIntyre is good enough to bounce back from this. Also, as much as WWE wouldn't like to admit it, this is a match most will have forgotten about by the time Royal Rumble comes around in January.

There's no harm in giving Reigns another strong win then. Obviously, WWE don't need to present Drew as a Jey Uso-esque underdog, but even he should be shocked by how much stronger Roman is compared to the last time they wrestled.
