McIntyre will have to wait further before appearing in front of fans as WWE Champion, which would be a disappointment for him. His first world title victory came less than four weeks after fans stopped attending shows, at WrestleMania 36.

The two-time WWE Champion will need to wait until Lashley drops the belt to have another shot. Drew McIntyre did look strong at Hell in a Cell, having only taken a roll-up loss at the event.

He is not short on potential opponents, with a host of stars who could step up to him. McIntyre could face current names like Jinder Mahal and Damian Priest or possible RAW returnees like Finn Balor and Keith Lee.
