Drew McIntyre and Roman Reigns have unfinished business

Drew McIntyre and Roman Reigns are no strangers, having faced each other on multiple occasions. Their last major match came at Survivor Series 2020 when McIntyre was the WWE Champion and Reigns the Universal Champion. The two squared off in a Champion vs. Champion Match that saw Reigns steal the victory.

Fans still want to see a proper feud between McIntyre and Reigns, and the former has teased the same on multiple occasions. There are few names on the current WWE roster to end Reigns' iconic title run, and Drew McIntyre's one of them.
