With Monday Night Raw feeling Roman Reigns' absence, WWE have been presenting and promoting Drew McIntyre as 'The Guy' on the red brand.

There's no denying that the Scottish Terminator was always set to be the 'Chosen One' within the company, and while his initial tenure bombed, the company might make him a bigger deal this time than he already is.

His victory over Kurt Angle got the entire world talking, with the former NXT Champion not only defeating the Olympic Gold Medalist but annihilating him as the crowd watched it all pass them by.

The demolition of Kurt Angle has propelled McIntyre as the next big thing and with Vince McMahon being very optimistic about the Scottish Sensation's abilities, he could very well make him the top guy in the entire WWE.

But will anyone dare to stand up to the Scottish Terminator and go one-on-one with him? There are plenty of WWE legends who are probably at the end of their careers, and passing the torch to Drew McIntyre could be an ideal way to close the curtain.

So, without further ado, let's dive deep and analyze the 5 WWE legends who could pass the torch to Drew McIntyre after Survivor Series.


#1 John Cena

John Cena's noteworthy achievements make him an ideal candidate to channel out the best in a mercenary like the Scottish Terminator, Drew McIntyre.

Both the competitors have never squared off in a feud and with the former NXT Champion becoming such a big deal on the red brand, chances are that this just might happen.

The 16-time World Champion's in-ring role within the squared circle is becoming extremely limited and that could coerce him to be involved in some terrific feuds before he calls it quits.

WWE definitely needs a money match for an event like WrestleMania and with Drew McIntyre ready for a coronation, Cena could pass the torch to him at the Show of Shows.

This feud could be pretty interesting and would certainly bring the best out of the Scottish Terminator by embarrassing John Cena at the biggest WWE event.

#2 Big Show

Time and time again, Vince McMahon has relied on legends like the Big Show to start a program with an upcoming sensation and make him a money-spinner.

While the fans have vehemently criticized Big Show's continuous transformations, the Giant still remains an integral part of McMahon's significant plans.

Big Show's short feud with the Monster Among Men felt pretty incredible and was successful in garnering tremendous adulation for Braun Strowman, as a dominant athlete.

Since the former World Champion struck the right chord in his feud with Braun Strowman, something similar can also be done with Drew McIntyre.

Considering that the Scottish Terminator believes in delivering results and bringing annihilation to the canvas, he could very well demolish the Big Show.

Currently paired up with the Bar, Big Show could certainly clash with the former NXT Champion somewhere down the line and give him the rub that he deserves.

#3 Batista

Batista is widely regarded as one of the most talented superstars in the WWE, and while he has been quite promising as a Hollywood star, he still misses being inside the squared circle.

His potential dream match with Triple H might have been cancelled after the Game's unfortunate injury, but the Animal could still throw his name into the hat and return to the WWE.

Since his last run was pretty stale, bringing him back in a stellar feud with Drew McIntyre could be a legitimate money-spinner for an event like WrestleMania.

There's no denying that Vince McMahon is very much involved in catapulting McIntyre as the next big thing on Monday Night Raw, clashing with the former World Champion could be stunning.

Both the competitors possess all the ingredients of a superstar that Vince McMahon admires, and with the past meeting the present, Batista could certainly pass the torch to the former NXT Champion.

#4 Brock Lesnar

Will the Beast fall down to McIntyre?

After winning the Universal Championship again, WWE has received tremendous backlash from legions of their fans for not pulling the trigger with Braun Strowman.

Since Vince McMahon always does what he feels is best for business, the Beast Incarnate's current Universal Champion run could see him drop the title at WrestleMania 35 and pave the way for someone special to run the show.

With Drew McIntyre running riot on Monday Night Raw, he definitely remains an ideal candidate to enter the MetLife Stadium and take Brock Lesnar to his limits.

There's no denying that the company lacks a legitimate superstar today and with the Big Dog's heartbreaking exit, Vince sees McIntyre as his next 'Golden Boy'.

The Scottish Terminator clashing with the Beast Incarnate for the Universal Championship has money written all over it, and could possibly be a match for the ages.

#5 Goldberg

In my humble opinion, Goldberg could possibly end up being one of the most ideal superstars to compete against Drew McIntyre in his WWE career.

The Icon carries a tremendous reputation within the squared circle and has never sidelined the idea of returning back to the company one fine day.

Since WrestleMania 35 would be an ideal time for a match like this to happen, bringing Goldberg in would directly elevate McIntyre's stature within the company.

Both the superstars could carry each other to a fine match on the similar lines as Brock Lesnar Vs. Goldberg at WrestleMania 33 for the Universal Championship.

While the WCW legend might not be very impressed with the idea of losing to the former NXT Champion, he could certainly pass the torch to him in one way or the other and turn him into a very big deal.
