Drew McIntyre is going to be huge for SmackDown. The timing of his draft couldn't have been better either. Many consider Drew McIntyre to be a swap for Finn Balor, and that will benefit the latter more on RAW.

As for Drew McIntyre, his sights are not on the Universal Championship just yet. He said that whichever brand he goes to, he'll target the world title. It will happen eventually, but not right now.

Big E gave Drew McIntyre his farewell to RAW at Crown Jewel in an incredible WWE title match and it seemed like an apt way for him to bow out. For Drew McIntyre, the long-term focus on SmackDown will be the Universal Championship.

On his return to SmackDown, Drew McIntyre faced and defeated Sami Zayn, who had a change in theme song.
