Drew McIntyre's next targets include Roman Reigns, legendary tag team, and major heel, WWE hosts predict
Drew McIntyre defeated Sami Zayn at Saturday Night's Main Event last night. WWE hosts Sam Roberts and Megan Morant now believe The Scottish Warrior will go after four other superstars.
After nearly a two-month absence, McIntyre returned to attack Jey Uso and Sami Zayn on RAW. Last Friday, he took out Jimmy Uso on SmackDown. Before their Saturday Night's Main Event match, The Scottish Warrior explained that he targeted Zayn because he reunited with the OG Bloodline. After defeating the former Intercontinental Champion last night, McIntyre sent a message as he headed backstage, saying "One down, four to go."
On the Notsam Wrestling podcast, Roberts and Morant speculated on the four upcoming targets for McIntyre that he mentioned in his brief message. Morant predicted that The Usos and Roman Reigns are three of the four potential targets. Meanwhile, her RAW Talk co-host disclosed that he believes Solo Sikoa would be the fourth.
"You know who the fourth is? Solo. [Is it?] Of course, I mean, here's what's great about this, you can do whatever you want right now. Whatever you're doing now is great. This is the story you're telling. But we live in a WWE where the past is not just the past," Sam said.
The 41-year-old pointed out that it was Sikoa who cost McIntyre his Clash at the Castle match against Roman Reigns in 2022.
"(...) When Drew McIntyre lost at Clash at the Castle this year, he wanted to kill [CM] Punk for that, right? He lost at Clash at the Castle two years before that [because of Solo]. It's his debut, Solo Sikoa's debut." [21:35 - 22:27]
Vince Russo slammed WWE for the booking of Drew McIntyre vs. Sami Zayn
Former WWE head writer Vince Russo recently reviewed Saturday Night's Main Event on his The Brand podcast. He slammed the Stamford-based company for their booking of Drew McIntyre's match against Sami Zayn.
The 63-year-old WWE veteran claimed The Scottish Warrior going 50-50 against the former Intercontinental Champion was unbelievable and hurt McIntyre's character.
"I'm sorry man. A guy that looks like Drew McIntyre cannot give Sami Zayn fifty percent of the match. It is not believeable. If these two got in a bar fight, Drew McIntyre would absolutely clean the bar with Sami Zayn. And why they have a guy like McIntyre going 50-50 with Sami Zayn? I have absolutely no idea. And let me tell you something. Casual fans watching this show are saying the same exact thing. 'Who is this guy and why is the bigger guy not annihilating him?' You don't do Drew McIntyre any favors booking him 50-50 against Sami Zayn. I'm sorry."
Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa are set to go head-to-head in Tribal Combat on the January 6 episode of RAW on the Netflix premiere. It would be interesting to see if McIntyre would interfere in the square-off.
