It is clear that Drew McIntyre is a long-term prospect for WWE because he certainly has the look and the physique to be a future Universal Champion. But this is backed up with a ton of promo ability as well, that allows him to stand apart from the rest of the current roster. And I haven't even mentioned his in-ring ability which is simply exemplary indeed.
We all saw how Hulk Hogan got into his face on RAW, and had this been 1987, this would have been a feud that could have main evented WrestleMania. Because Crown Jewel is not going to have the heels pick up a win, it is pretty clear that it will be Team Hogan standing tall when the night is done. But it will be a misstep to have Drew McIntyre on the losing side because he needs to be protected for his eventual push to the top.
This could actually be what eventually causes Drew McIntyre to eventually go babyface and maybe become the face of the Red Brand. This may actually make a lot of sense if Seth Rollins decides to go heel.
