Drew McIntyre and Sheamus are taking each other on because the WWE Champion has been booked dominantly against almost every other heel in the WWE RAW brand already. Be it Bobby Lashley, or Randy Orton, or AJ Styles, or even Goldberg (who is a babyface who earns the ire of fans), Drew McIntyre has run through them all.
Well, The Fiend has turned babyface to clash with Randy Orton, meaning that Sheamus is pretty much the only guy left who hasn't taken the WWE Champion on.
While we mean no offense at all, Sheamus seems like a far more formidable foe for the WWE Championship picture than someone like Elias or Mustafa Ali, because of the way that those men have been presented on television thus far.
Plus, Sheamus and Drew McIntyre can have a competitive match, a very big departure from the contest that the Champ had with Goldberg recently.
