McIntyre, The Fiend, and Roman Reigns

The 2020 WWE Draft recently took place on the latest edition of WWE RAW and SmackDown, and it won't be a stretch to say that the landscape of the company has changed drastically. WWE's top Superstars have changed brands and this has given rise to a string of interesting possibilities on both brands.

The Fiend and Alexa Bliss are now on the Red brand, while the former 'Monday Night Messiah' Seth Rollins is on SmackDown. Rollins recently hinted that he could feud with Roman Reigns in the near future, and fans can't contain their excitement over the same. On the other hand, there is a string of brand new full-fledged feuds that we could possibly get to witness in the near future, thanks to the 2020 WWE Draft. In this list, we will take a look at five of these possible feuds.


#5 King Corbin vs. The Mysterios (WWE SmackDown)

Now that Rey and Dominik Mysterio are both a part of WWE SmackDown, we just might get to see them lock horns with King Corbin. During the Watch Along for Night One of the 2020 WWE Draft, The Mysterios were informed that Corbin said he wants to beat up the whole family.

Dominik Mysterio was asked about his reaction to the same, and he stated that the numbers game will be in their favor if Corbin tries to get in their way. He then added that he would love to have a match with Corbin somewhere down the line.

Corbin is one of the most hated heels on the Blue brand. Back when the Mysterio family was on RAW, they feuded with Seth Rollins, one of the top heels there. Fans wouldn't mind a storyline between Corbin and Dominik Mysterio in the near future, with the latter possibly scoring a win to establish himself as a legit WWE Superstar.

#4 Matt Riddle vs. Bobby Lashley (WWE RAW)

Bobby Lashley is one of the toughest wrestlers on RAW, and there aren't many who have managed to topple him in the past. Currently, he is a member of The Hurt Business, and the stable is slowly gaining steam on the Red brand. Now that Matt Riddle is on WWE RAW as well, there's no reason why we shouldn't get a feud between these two Superstars.

Both Riddle and Lashley have had experiences in MMA, and it would be nothing short of interesting to see these two legit fighters go at it in the ring. Lashley has expressed his desire to face Brock Lesnar on various occasions in the past, but it seems like that match isn't happening anytime soon. Instead, The Hurt Business can target Matt Riddle somewhere down the line, to set up a singles encounter between Riddle and Lashley at a WWE pay-per-view. This could be an incredibly entertaining, hard-hitting fight, and a win over Lashley could help Riddle with his standing on the RAW roster.

#3 Otis vs. Big E (WWE SmackDown)

'Face vs Face' or 'Heel vs Heel' feuds are tough to execute, as fans get torn between whom to cheer or boo in such situations. There are rare situations though when a feud needs to happen for the sake of fans' entertainment if nothing else. Big E vs. Otis is one such feud. Now that Big E is going to move ahead as a singles star on WWE SmackDown, he needs a bunch of interesting feuds to put himself over. On the other hand, Otis is now a singles act as well, after Tucker was moved to WWE RAW.

No hurries here, but a Big E vs. Otis mini-feud should definitely happen in the near future. No matter who wins the feud, or if it ends in a draw, the fans will be the winners in the end. Big E and Otis are two of the funniest wrestlers in all of WWE and are genuinely loved by fans. Imagine the promos and mid-match shenanigans we would get to witness when these two engage in a rivalry. Courtesy the draft, both these wrestlers are now advancing as singles stars, and there couldn't be a better opportunity for them to have a feud.

#2 Roman Reigns vs. Aleister Black (WWE SmackDown)

Aleister Black is now a WWE SmackDown exclusive Superstar, following the 2020 WWE Draft. Black had been doing fine for himself on the RAW brand for a long time, and also went through a character change. He recently spoke about Roman Reigns and stated that he wants a match with the WWE Universal Champion.

I’d love to be entangled with Roman and Paul, and I’ve spoken with Paul about this before. There are a lot of things that move the different pieces on that chessboard, getting me to checkmates, and that’s one of them.

Aleister Black is one of the most intriguing acts on WWE TV today, while Roman Reigns is the biggest heel in the company in recent memory. Unfortunately for Black, if these two entangle in the near future, it will probably result in a win for Reigns, as WWE will try its best to protect him moving forward. Nevertheless, a match between these two WWE Superstars will certainly be one for the ages.

#1 The Fiend vs. Drew McIntyre (WWE RAW)

Last year, The Fiend defeated Drew McIntyre in two dark matches on WWE RAW, and this was it for the duo in the ring. A year later, McIntyre is the biggest face in the company and holds the WWE title. Things have certainly changed a lot and it's high time we get an actual feud between McIntyre and RAW's newest employee, The Fiend. Both these Superstars have never engaged in a feud before, but the stars have finally aligned for the same.

No matter if McIntyre wins or loses to Randy Orton at Hell in a Cell, he should kick off a rivalry with The Fiend somewhere down the line. Bray Wyatt has had a history of kicking off rivalries by interfering in major matches. He could target McIntyre inside Hell in a Cell and help Orton win the belt, thus starting a rivalry that fans have been wanting to see for a long time now. McIntyre is one of the most over Superstars in WWE at the moment, and a feud against The Fiend will only help him get more over with the WWE Universe.
