Best and Worst of RAW- 31st December, 2018

#2 Best: Rebuilding Drew McIntyre

McIntyre came across as a real star this week

I will praise Drew McIntyre in this section. But before that, I would like to compliment just how good Ziggler made McIntyre look. He made each and every Claymore kick seem like it was ripping him in half, putting McIntyre over in the process.

Of course, Drew McIntyre emerged from the cage and announced himself as the 'King of the Jungle. He also made it clear that he planned on winning the Royal Rumble match. It is quite clear that Drew McIntyre will get the push of a lifetime going forward, from the WWE brass.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

This was a much-needed victory because McIntyre seemed to have lost a bit of momentum ever since he was pinned clean by Dolph Ziggler. It is abundantly clear that the company remains high on McIntyre, and will build him as a top heel, in coming weeks.
