Drew McIntyre's 5 best WWE opponents

#4. Drew McIntyre has scores to settle with Roman Reigns.

Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre have been at odds since the latter's WWE return. Whenever Drew tries to claim the position of the top guy, he finds The Tribal Chief standing in his way.

Their first singles battle was at WrestleMania 35, where Roman was victorious. The match was somewhat underwhelming as McIntyre didn't look like a credible threat. Thankfully, WWE corrected their mistake at Survivor Series 2020.

The buildup to this pay-per-view saw Drew McIntyre regain the WWE Championship to set up a dream Champion vs. Champion bout with Roman Reigns. On the last Smackdown before the pay-per-view, both men engaged in an epic war of words.

While Reigns called his opponent a "Secondary Champion," McIntyre warned the Universal Champion to stay prepared for a "war." His words turned out to be true. Both men delivered amazing performances, which proved why they are the current flag-bearers of WWE.

It was only the first chapter of this rivalry, and it showed people how breathtaking a feud between two megastars could be. Luckily for fans, they might not have to wait longer to witness another Reigns vs. McIntyre match as the company is planning to have these men fight each other, potentially after WrestleMania 38.

#3. Drew McIntyre had a memorable rivalry with Dolph Ziggler

In 2018, Dolph Ziggler brought in Drew McIntyre as his bodyguard on RAW. The pairing quickly became popular among WWE audiences, who referred to their team as a modern-day version of the Shawn Michaels-Diesel alliance. The duo had great chemistry as a unit, which led to them winning the RAW tag titles.

However, it wasn't long before Drew turned his back on The Showoff. This betrayal led to a series of exciting bouts between the two men. While Dolph won on a few occasions, Drew made up for all those losses by obliterating Ziggler inside a Steel Cage.

Although the feud didn't go further, The Showoff got some revenge by eliminating The Scottish Psychopath from the Royal Rumble Match. It was a great mid-card feud that helped McIntyre transition into a singles superstar.

With the stakes higher this time, the two superstars fought again in the second half of 2020. The former World Heavyweight Champion traded brands to challenge for Drew's WWE title.

They had a couple of brutal Extreme Rules matches, where McIntyre showcased his unhinged side to the world. Although people didn't find this program intriguing at first, they were pleasantly surprised to see the two performers exceed expectations.
