WWE RAW after Stomping Grounds: 3 reasons why Drew McIntyre should turn on Shane McMahon

And it happened again. At WrestleMania 35, the Big Dog Roman Reigns beat Drew McIntyre clean even though it was his first match after recovering from leukemia. McIntyre, at the time, had already beaten two members of the Shield and Reigns was the only one left to taste defeat.

The Scottish Psychopath was going strong on the main roster until then. After his clean loss to Reigns at the Grandest Stage of Them All, things have gone downhill for the Chosen One.

Many expected him to be in the WWE Universal Title picture this year but he has, so far, been Shane McMahon’s bodyguard. To make things worse, McIntyre lost his match against Reigns at Stomping Grounds, despite having the help from Shane McMahon.

So, if a clean loss at WrestleMania 35 was not enough, losing despite the help of Shane O Mac makes it clear that he was put in the burial grounds at Stomping Grounds.

His character, however, can still be redeemed but for that to happen, he needs to turn on Shane McMahon – and here are three reasons why he should do that.

#3 Saving his character as a brutal heel

He is a natural as a evil heel

This has just been mentioned above. McIntyre was the best villain on RAW last year after his return to the main roster. The Scottish Psychopath brutalized everyone who came in his way.

He even turned on Dolph Ziggler to further enhance his character as a horrific heel. Right now, the Chosen One take it another step further after he turns on Shane McMahon.

The Chairman’s son is, right now, among the most hated characters on the show and while turning on him might make McIntyre look like a face, WWE can make him do it in such a way that the fans could sympathize with Shane McMahon.

McIntyre can brutally beat down Shane when the latter is kind to him. The massacre could be so much that…

#2 Shane McMahon goes off TV for a while

Ad
Not many want to see him on both shows

Let’s be honest here: almost everyone in the WWE Universe think that we see too much of Shane McMahon on both RAW and SmackDown. He is a part of the McMahon family and owns a share in the company, so he doesn’t really need character development as a wrestler, especially now that he is reaching his 50th birthday.

The time he gets on TV can easily be used to push another up and coming Superstar that can actually add a lot of value to the company in the long run. His involvement with Reigns and McIntyre is not helping any of them at all.

As a result, it would be sensible to write him off TV for a while and have both Reigns and McIntyre take part in meaningful storylines – something that most fans have been asking for a while.

#1 A legitimate platform to push McIntyre

He deserves a push

When McIntyre joined the company about a decade ago, Vince McMahon dubbed him as the Chosen One. However, things didn’t go as planned and he was released from WWE in 2014.

After that, he rediscovered himself in the independent circuit and returned with a much bigger and dominating physique and persona. He took NXT by storm and soon won the NXT Championship.

He was then promoted to the main roster and dominated as a sick heel with not an ounce of conscience in him. Many expected him to be pushed to the main title picture but he hasn’t even been in the scene for the Intercontinental of the United States Title.

If he turns on McMahon and brutalizes him in the process, it will establish him again as a strong heel, where he can make a case of how his alliance with Shane was holding him back.

The momentum he could garner by destroying Shane McMahon will restore his credibility and will once again make him eligible for a push to the main event scene.
