Drew McIntyre and Braun Strowman are regarded by the vast majority of professional wrestling fans and experts alike as two of the top WWE Superstars today. Both Superstars currently perform on WWE's RAW brand, and over the past several months, they have performed as both allies and enemies on-screen.

However, perhaps one of the most pointless feuds in recent memory, has been this very feud between McIntyre and Strowman! Frankly speaking, this is a lose-lose situation for both Superstars.

Considering that we're within sniffing distance of WrestleMania 35, it's extremely essential for us to address this conundrum in one of the top storylines on Monday Night RAW.

Today, we take a special look at why the Drew McIntyre vs. Braun Strowman WrestleMania 35 feud will fail. Additionally, we also look at the solutions to this long-running stale feud.


#3 Because Drew McIntyre and Braun Strowman cannot beat each other 'clean'

An easy example to understand this problem, is to take the case of top Superstars such as 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin and The Rock. During the height of their reigns atop the world of sports-entertainment, neither Austin nor The Rock would lose 'clean' (without outside interference and nefarious means of the sort) to each other.

It was indeed very rare that Austin would beat The Rock or vice versa, clean! That is because in the world of professional wrestling, in a given organization, your two biggest stars always need to have a back-and-forth rivalry where each man wins a few matches and there is no decisive winner until a major PPV event like WrestleMania.

That said, what's different in the case of Drew McIntyre and Braun Strowman as compared to the aforementioned case, is that right now, McIntyre and Strowman absolutely cannot afford to lose 'clean' to each other (not even at WrestleMania 35!) or to anyone for that matter (except Brock Lesnar!), otherwise all the efforts that have gone into pushing them as legitimate top stars will go to waste. Speaking of which, here's a likely solution...

#2 Because Drew McIntyre and Braun Strowman need to feud with other Superstars and not each other

Alright, this is a highly significant factor that is at play in this ongoing mess of a feud between Drew McIntyre and Braun Strowman on Monday Night RAW.

Here's the thing: The problem that I discussed with you on the previous page, could easily be solved by booking McIntyre and Strowman to engage in their own respective feuds with other Superstars. The ideal situation would be for McIntyre to feud with someone like Elias, Bobby Lashley or Dean Ambrose.

While there is no clear option for McIntyre to feud with right now, Strowman does have a feud that could have him go over once again. 'The Monster Among Men' could finally destroy his longtime rival Baron Corbin!

I mean let's face it, Corbin repeatedly being helped by McIntyre and Lashley against Strowman has gotten quite annoying now; and it'd be great to see Strowman get closure on his irritating villainous foe -- Baron Corbin -- one on one.

As I put pen to paper, or rather should I say punch down the keys on my laptop, I quite literally shuddered at the mere thought of the WWE booking Drew McIntyre to feud with Braun Strowman all the way up to WrestleMania 35 next month.

Honestly speaking, Strowman has already been established as a top star on RAW, and while it'd be great to see him hold the WWE Universal Championship someday, for now, it's McIntyre's time to shine. Make no mistake about it folks, the Universal Title picture is still undeniably muddy, especially with part-time performer Brock Lesnar holding the title as well as the return of former Universal Champion Roman Reigns.

This, in and of itself, indicates why the WWE must wrap up the McIntyre vs. Strowman feud after Fastlane. Strowman could get closure on his feud with Baron Corbin, whereas McIntyre could perhaps interfere in the Universal Championship matchup between Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 35.

McIntyre interfering in the match, and helping Rollins slay 'The Beast' would be a rather shocking swerve, especially because most sections of the pro-wrestling community expect Roman Reigns to aid Rollins against Lesnar at 'Mania.
