Vince McMahon's adulation for the former NXT Champion could lead him to many bigger things before we get on the Road to WrestleMania 35. He is certainly the best part of Monday Night Raw and has done so by constantly grabbing the brass ring by the neck and running with it.

#1 One of the greatest has already passed the torch to him on Raw

Nobody has done that

One of the notable highlights of Monday Night Raw this week was Kurt Angle's loss to Drew Mcintyre, where the latter took the Olympic Gold Medalist out with his own medicine.

While the match might not receive the acclaim it should have, the creative team's focus on the former NXT Champion's annihilation felt incredible and pretty organic.

Drew Mcintyre's offensive mannerisms definitely coerced the fans to notice him and his verbal altercations throughout the match felt like he was torturing the Hall of Famer.

There's no denying that Kurt Angle has achieved everything in the business, but to be defeated in such fashion where his opponent completely dominated and mocked him felt that something is definitely cooking in Vince McMahon's head.

Judging by the commentary throughout the match, it certainly felt like the company was trying to convey a clear-cut message that the Scottish Terminator has literally ended Angle's career.

The Chosen One solidified his position as a main-event superstar after this week's victory which has definitely made him an even more believable threat to Brock Lesnar's career.

#2 Brock Lesnar Vs. Braun Strowman again would be a terrible idea

The Monster Among Men is not clicking

In what could have been a legitimate coronation of Braun Strowman in the WWE, his loss to Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel has certainly diminished his credibility.

While the company tried to protect him by letting Constable Corbin attack him before the match, the squash that followed after the attack felt that the company is not very high on him.

Many backstage reports have also claimed that the Monster Among Men's recent altercations with the management has made him a less proficient contender to take Roman Reigns' spot on the red brand.

Considering that he was one of the most popular stars in the entire company, he has failed to shine when he has the spotlight upon him, and this might be a legitimate reason why Mcintyre could be inserted into that position.

With the Beast Incarnate annihilating the Monster on several occasions, booking a rematch at WrestleMania 35 would rub the fans the wrong way and might not make it a more special encounter.

#3 Somebody has to take the Roman Reigns' spot at WrestleMania

Roman's current absence will improve Mcintyre's position

Roman Reigns' apparent exit from the WWE must have brought some significant alterations in the company's booking for the Road to WrestleMania 35.

While there were rumoured plans for the Rock to return and feud with the Big Dog for the top prize on the red brand, his absence could be a blessing in disguise for the Scottish Terminator.

Vince McMahon has been very clinical while booking the former NXT Champion and while Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose would run riot on the red brand with their feud, it will be Mcintyre that will gradually grab the top spot on Raw.

Since Roman Reigns had a hard time dealing with the Beast Incarnate on multiple occasions, the company could be going a very different route with the Chosen One and make him a more believable threat to Brock Lesnar.

Judging by Mcintyre's physical stature, he certainly looks the one to dethrone the Universal Champion, and that victory could legitimately propel him to unimaginable heights.

#4 Dethroning Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship could be a perfect way to turn Mcintyre babyface

Logic can turn anything into gold

If you've closely analysed the work Drew Mcintyre did in NXT, then you definitely understand that pushing him as the face could prove beneficial on multiple levels.

His feud with Bobby Roode felt pretty incredible and established his position as a legitimate face under Triple H's supervision.

Considering that the fans will unleash their hate on Brock Lesnar's Universal Championship run, pushing the former NXT Champion as a roadblock in his path could be a solid way to catapult his status in the company.

While there are many few occasions where the company pushes a guy that the fans love to see, Mcintyre's organic rise will certainly assist the company's direction towards WrestleMania.

Defeating Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35 in splendid fashion and possibly retiring him could be an ideal way to turn face for the Scottish Terminator and lead the company into the next decade.

#5 Vince McMahon could be making him the face of the company

Is he really the Chosen One?

Where Braun Strowman has failed, Drew Mcintyre has risen. Vince McMahon's calculative booking is quickly cementing Mcintyre's position as 'The Guy' on Monday Night Raw.

Ad

While many expected Seth Rollins or Finn Balor to be in the ideal position to take Roman Reigns' spot, Mcintyre's constant rise is coercing the company to notice him more often than not.

He was always meant to be a big deal when he returned and he is certainly proving his doubters wrong by propelling at every occasion that is being thrown at him.

Many predicted the Monster Among Men as a legitimate contender to replace Roman Reigns' and while he is facing some backstage heat, the Scottish Terminator is becoming even more of a threat.

His clash with Brock Lesnar is everything you want to see in a WrestleMania main event, and this time the company has the right guy who can dethrone and end Brock Lesnar's career at the Show of Shows.
