"Put that match on last" - Former WWE Champion believes huge title bout has potential to main event WrestleMania Sunday

With the Intercontinental Championship having been restored to its past glory, top WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre strongly feels the triple threat match between him, Sheamus, and champion Gunther could main event the Show of Shows.

Whilst the highly anticipated match between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns is set to close WrestleMania 39 later today, the quote on quote 'people's main event' is arguably the hard-hitting showdown between three of WWE's toughest stars.

Speaking to BT Sport, Drew McIntyre commented on the Intercontinental title's recent resurgence under Gunther and how the story surrounding the match has enough momentum to close the event.

​

"He’s restored the prestige to it... The IC titles been featured more prominently than its been featured than I’d say in a couple of decades. You could put that match on last and that would be a solid main event and you couldn’t say that for many years when it comes to the IC Title." [From 2:30 to 2:45]
