WWE WrestleMania 42: 20 Things That NEED To Happen
10. Jacob Fatu Mauls Drew McIntyre
Note to WWE creative: It's really important that Jacob Fatu’s win over Drew McIntyre is decisive and cut throat. Fans have been yearning for the ’Samoan Werewolf’ to get back to his intense ways of old, but this feud with McIntyre has been encouraging in that respect. Now, a full on brawl in their “Unsanctioned Match” peaking with Fatu practically decapitating Drew (not really!) is the best option.
Drew is reportedly taking some time off to film the new Highlander movie after this anyway, so it isn't like he needs a win to sustain momentum. That WWE Title reign he had earlier in the year acted almost as a knowing apology from Triple H for what was coming next.
The Scot will return hyper charged and probably as a babyface once filming commitments wrap up and he gets some well-deserved time off the road. Before then, he has one more major role as a villain on SmackDown, and it's putting Fatu over to the point that the ex-Bloodline mauler levels up and becomes a bonafide headliner himself.
Fatu vs. McIntyre in an "Unsanctioned" affair sticks out from all of the other matches on Saturday. There are no multi-man ladder brawls, no powerhouse vs. powerhouse bouts like Brock vs. Oba etc. The more violent aspects of WrestleMania Saturday will belong to Drew and the dude he left sparked out last year before Jacob went off to get some dental work done.
Don't be stunned if McIntyre gets some polite applause once he comes to and exits stage left. WWE fans really appreciate how hard he works to entertain them.
