WWE TLC 2018: 10 Things That Must Happen

3. Drew McIntyre Goes Nose-To-Nose With Braun Strowman

The same goes for Drew McIntyre's match with Finn Bálor.

Earlier in the card, the big Scotsman must manhandle his Irish counterpart, wipe the smile off his little face and take another step towards main event immortality. WWE cannot drop the ball here. Drew has developed into one of Raw's must-see characters, and he's deserving of a headline push towards the Universal Title at some point in 2019.

There's no major rush though. After McIntyre whips Bálor and Braun Strowman crushes Baron Corbin's GM-related dreams, he'd be best-served getting in the (slightly bigger) big man's face and letting Braun know he's also in the hunt for Brock Lesnar. That'd add another dynamic to any Strowman challenge at the Rumble.

Will Drew interfere and cost Braun his chance to become champ? Would the match become a Triple Threat? Might Drew and Braun collide at WrestleMania if neither is champion? Those are the kinds of questions that'd be asked in coming weeks, and it's better WWE have some to answer than not.
