Drew McIntyre has been an unstoppable force since winning the WWE Championship from Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 36.

Not only did he overcome the threat of Zelina Vega's faction a few weeks ago, but The Scottish Champion has been one step ahead of Seth Rollins since their feud began on RAW.

After last week's twist where Murphy reunited with Rollins, McIntyre fought Murphy in this episode's main event. As expected, McIntyre defeated The Monday Night Messiah's disciple, but it was after the match, where Rollins ambushed the WWE Champion from behind.

Even then, McIntyre regained control and prepared to deliver a Claymore to his MITB opponent. Rollins escaped the scene, and before you know it, The Chosen One proved that he has been several steps ahead of Seth Rollins all along.

If this feud is to become more interesting, then the only possible route here is for WWE to start executing Rollins' "big plan" at Money in the Bank.

Otherwise, McIntyre will most likely retain his title this Sunday, and Rollins would go down as a blip in the WWE Champion's current reign.

The animosity is at a whole new level between #WWEChampion @DMcIntyreWWE and @WWERollins on the road to #MITB! #WWERaw pic.twitter.com/ruVOu5g5uu
