Drew McIntyre could be a fantastic addition to the SmackDown brand in the coming months following his move as part of the first round of the WWE Draft.

Much like Charlotte, there is no real issue with The Scottish Warrior making his move over to the blue brand, the timing just isn't the best. Big E was able to defeat Bobby Lashley this past week on RAW before McIntyre made his way out onto the ramp and made it clear that he wanted another shot at the title.

Of course, McIntyre will probably be given that shot at Crown Jewel the weekend before the move becomes official, but that would make the result a predictable one.

If McIntyre wasn't moving to SmackDown then he could be seen as a legitimate challenger for Big E, but now it will be obvious that he's going to lose the match and head to SmackDown empty-handed. As already noted in the earlier slides, if WWE knew that the draft moves were not going to take effect until weeks later then why didn't the company schedule the draft for November instead?
