#3. Drew McIntyre's absence creates a fresh scenario in the WWE Championship picture
Ad
Oh YOU’RE putting ME on notice? Good.This is the @fightbobby EVERYONE has wanted to see for two years now. You’re a dangerous man, but leave your marital issues at the door because if we’re going to do this, I want the very best version of Lashley. I’ll be waiting. https://t.co/tsSDA4OYqP
Drew McIntyre has been involved in the WWE Championship for more than a year. The Scottish star first won the title behind closed doors at WrestleMania 36 when he beat Brock Lesnar. His second world title win came in the WWE ThunderDome when McIntyre defeated Randy Orton.
Given his constant involvement with the WWE Championship, It's fair to argue that McIntyre could benefit from a feud that doesn't involve the gold.
With The Miz's involvement in the WWE Championship picture, WWE now has a proper heel who could carry the title to WrestleMania and beyond. The A-Lister is known for his classic heel antics, and winning the WWE Championship at Elimination Chamber was another classic example of his villainy.
More importantly, Drew McIntyre's absence in the world title scene also opens the door for a babyface run for Bobby Lashley. The fans seem absolutely invested in the idea of Lashley chasing the WWE Championship.
It remains to be seen whether the CEO of The Hurt Business will end up winning the legendary title at, or before, WWE's biggest event of the year.
