#2 Sheamus could be a substitute for the Drew McIntyre vs. Jinder Mahal storyline, which played out in an underwhelming manner

While Sheamus is feuding with the WWE Champion, in case you missed it, Drew McIntyre vs. Jinder Mahal, which was a highly-anticipated feud for fans, owing to the fact that both men were allied in 3MB played out in a very underwhelming manner at WWE Superstar Spectacle, as the two men clashed in a six-man tag team contest and not one-on-one.

Sheamus and Drew McIntyre have a chance to recreate the same kind of storyline, based on their shared history on the RAW brand. Of course, Jinder Mahal vs. Drew McIntyre may have been a much bigger contest, owing to how both men returned to WWE and climbed to the top of the food chain. The fact that it was an important match for the Indian audience allowed it to play out in a rather disappointing fashion.

Sheamus vs. Drew McIntyre may just be a substitute for the storyline that never really came to pass, but there's no reason why these two men can't create compelling television together.
