Drew McIntyre may not be the WWE Champion anymore, but holding it for 200 days in your first reign and losing it to a legend like Randy Orton at Hell in a Cell 2020 isn't a bad way to go about it.

Drew McIntyre has had to have his entire WWE title reign without an audience. But it's hard to deny that he did a great job as the Champion - having excellent matches in every single pay-per-view title defense.

He made the most of his first Hell in a Cell match by taking a big bump from a height down to the commentary desk. According to Dave Meltzer, this was a tribute to Shawn Michaels, who took a similar bump in the first Hell in a Cell match in 1997.

According to Dave Meltzer, Drew McIntyre wanted to take the fall into the table as a tribute to Shawn Michaels. Mcintyre has fond memories of the Heart Break Kid from his first Hell In A Cell match against The Undertaker in 1997.

We hope this is true because it's a great way to pay tribute while also putting over another WWE Superstar.
