At WrestleMania 37, Drew McIntyre clashed with Bobby Lashley with the WWE Championship on the line in the opening contest. What a slugfest it was from start to finish!
However, it was the All-Mighty Champion that persevered during the contest. Bobby Lashley did not need The Hurt Business by his side to make Drew McIntyre pass out and prove his dominance to all.
The question now remains: where does Drew McIntyre go from here, following his crushing loss to the Champion? Following WrestleMania, will he slip and slide down the ranks or still stay in the title picture?
NOTE: It's unlikely that Brock Lesnar, even if he returns on the RAW after WrestleMania 37, will compete at the next pay-per-view after missing SummerSlam. If Drew McIntyre vs. Brock Lesnar has to happen, it may take place at a stage like WrestleMania.
#5 Keith Lee returns on the episode of RAW after WrestleMania and aligns with Bobby Lashley to take Drew McIntyre out
MVP recently said that he and Bobby Lashley were looking for applicants to join The Hurt Business. Could Keith Lee align with MVP and Bobby Lashley on the episode of RAW after WrestleMania, becoming their muscle, so to speak? Drew McIntyre vs. The Hurt Business can continue in this manner, but the rematch could happen down the line once Drew McIntyre has run through Keith Lee.
Keith Lee and Drew McIntyre are two big bulls who could have quite the feud after WrestleMania. These are not two men who'll be gentle with one another. No, when they confront each other, fists will fly.
Keith Lee has been away from action for too long and he needs to make up for it after WrestleMania 37. What a feud it would be!
#4 Jinder Mahal encounters Drew McIntyre to continue their story
Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre did have a bit of an encounter at Superstar Spectacle, which was a special show created merely for Indian fans. However, there's still a story to be explored between the two of them, and WWE could go back to it on the RAW after WrestleMania 37.
Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal were both a part of 3MB and then let go by the company. Both of them returned to the company again and became Champions. One is a white-meat babyface, while the other is an out-and-out heel.
Drew McIntyre even told Sportskeeda that he wants a match against Jinder Mahal!
If you've seen on his social media, he's been posting pictures how he looks right now. Physically he looks incredible. He's ready to get back. I've been working out with him. And you know he's just chomping at a bit. He's not been back since like all this started.
Could Jinder Mahal return on the RAW after WrestleMania to confront his former friend?
#3 Braun Strowman and Drew McIntyre still have a score to settle
Did you guys notice the confrontation between Drew McIntyre and Braun Strowman backstage in the RAW locker room a couple of weeks ago? Braun Strowman is one of the few people in the world who dwarfs Drew McIntyre and for the Scotsman to go into a feud as the underdog would be a welcome change of pace for him.
Braun Strowman assured Drew McIntyre that he would find him after WrestleMania once he was done with Shane McMahon. It would be very interesting to see Drew McIntyre have to work his way up to the title picture again by putting Braun Strowman and other challengers down.
The claymore can knock most men down and out, but the one thing to remember here is that Braun Strowman is one of the most bulletproof guys on the roster. It will be interesting to see who goes over in such a clash because of how both men are protected. It certainly won't be a step down for Drew McIntyre.
#2 Does Finn Balor come back to RAW to take Drew McIntyre out?
There are many similarities between Drew McIntyre and Finn Balor. These are two men who are far away from home, who've come to WWE to follow their dream and reached the top of the mountain before losing their Championships. It would make all the sense in the world for Balor to return to RAW on the night after WrestleMania, to remind us just how special he is.
If Drew McIntyre is to be kept out of the title picture in a high-profile feud, there's probably none better for him to clash with than Finn Balor. In this instance, McIntyre can put Balor over to re-establish him on WWE RAW. McIntyre will remain a big star for a while, but Balor certainly needs the rub. Balor will certainly be a welcome addition to the RAW roster.
Despite the disparity in size, Drew McIntyre will not go into this clash as a massive favorite. Finn Balor is a seasoned performer who's felled many superstars bigger than himself.
#1 Drew McIntyre expressed his desire to work Edge to Sportskeeda Wrestling
Drew McIntyre caught up with Sportskeeda Wrestling leading up to WrestleMania and expressed his desire to work Edge. In fact, he told us that he's been waiting for a long time for the match to happen.
Here's what McIntyre told Sportskeeda:
"I can't wait for it to happen. I've been waiting a very long time. I've to say I'm a little disappointed he didn't choose Drew McIntyre and the WWE Championship as the match. It was pointed out recently that it was his first match on SmackDown in about 10 years. His last match was with a young Drew McIntyre."
Obviously, if Edge does capture the Universal Championship, then these plans go for a toss. However, one must remember that Edge is not a member of the SmackDown roster. He's only competing on SmackDown right now because he picked Roman Reigns after winning the Royal Rumble match.
Which road should Drew McIntyre go down, in your opinion after WrestleMania? Let us know right below.
