After Seth Rollins lost his grudge match to Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 36, Drew McIntyre went on to main event the biggest show of the year and defeated Brock Lesnar to bag his first WWE Championship.

On the April 13 episode of RAW, Rollins ran out to attack McIntyre after his match against Andrade and delivered The Stomp to the WWE Champion to make the first statement.

The following week, McIntyre challenged Rollins to a match at Money in the Bank with his title on the line, stating that as champion, he needed to face the best.

Rollins was quick to accept the challenge after noting the similarities between the two men and recalling that he defeated Lesnar not once but twice.

Now that the match is set in stone, WWE is going ahead with another gimmick segment on Monday Night RAW this week as the two men will sign the contract for their match which will take place at Money in the Bank.

As per tradition, something out of the box has to happen during contract signing segments in WWE, and we expect something extraordinary to happen during this one too.

In this article, we will look at the 5 things that could happen during the contract signing between Rollins and McIntyre on RAW this week.


#5 The segment ends without any fireworks

Two of RAW’s biggest Superstars will be in the ring this Monday Night for the contract signing segment for the WWE Championship match at Money in the Bank.

A lot can happen during the segment and we expect a few insults to be traded between the two men on the mic to build up towards their clash. Rollins has already stated how he is more qualified than McIntyre, while The Scottish Psychopath is trying hard to become the new leader of the RAW locker room after his success.

While so much can happen, considering that Rollins sneak-attacked McIntyre a couple of weeks ago, there’s a chance that the segment may end without any real fireworks.

WWE may decide to pull both men back this week and let them build towards the clash without trading any real blows again, just so that they can keep them fresh and ready for the big clash on MITB.

While the company works best when they allow Superstars to get involved physically, they may decide to hold them back.

Seth Rollins had been one of WWE’s biggest babyfaces following his victory during the 2019 Royal Rumble, followed by his big moment at WrestleMania 35. While Rollins enjoyed being the babyface, especially after Brock Lesnar’s heel character gave him a huge push, he couldn’t stay a face for too long.

Following Survivor Series, The Architect turned heel once again and had a good rivalry with Kevin Owens. After losing against The Prizefighter at WrestleMania 36, The Monday Night Messiah has still not lost hope and has gone after the current WWE Champion.

Knowing how big a heel Rollins is now, expect him to pull all triggers when he comes face to face with The Scottish Psychopath on RAW. He has already attacked McIntyre on RAW a couple of weeks ago and he will aim to do that again this week.

This move will allow the company to build McIntyre as a babyface even further and even the chances of both the Superstars before MITB arrives.

It will also allow Rollins to become even more overconfident and come across as an even bigger heel at a time when RAW is looking for some top heels to take over and pose a challenge to the Champions of the brand.

#3 Drew McIntyre plants Rollins with a Claymore Kick

Just like Brock Lesnar helped Seth Rollins become a big babyface on RAW last year, he did the same for Drew McIntyre this year. McIntyre’s newfound energy and determination have come as a babyface, but it’s nearly impossible to build the Superstar as an underdog against any opponent.

With that in mind, WWE has tried to keep McIntyre down by putting more men up against him in the form of Andrade, Angel Garza, and Austin Theory. Apart from that, Rollins too has played his part in this storyline.

However, WWE needs to ensure that fans remember the power and ruthlessness of McIntyre, and remember that he did slay The Beast with a lot of dominance after the first few initial blows.

With the same attitude, we could watch McIntyre once again escape from any attacks planned by The Messiah and instead plant him with a Claymore Kick to send a loud and clear message to anyone doubting his abilities.

This will be the perfect way to build McIntyre as the true WWE Champion ready to take on any challenge.

#2 The Monday Night Messiah gets some help to beat down McIntyre

After developing a rivalry with Kevin Owens post Survivor Series 2019, Seth Rollins has found assistance from a surprising bunch of Superstars. It started with the Authors of Pain, and then Murphy joined The Monday Night Messiah soon after, to make it into a formidable faction.

While the AOP is out of action, Murphy still seems to be following The Messiah even though he’s been involved in a few unfavorable bookings. A couple of weeks ago, Angel Garza weakened Drew McIntyre before Rollins ran down to attack the WWE Champion and deliver a couple of Stomps.

This week, at the contract signing, we could watch Rollins get help from a few familiar faces once again to take down McIntyre and beat him up to make an impact.

We could see Murphy, or Garza and Austin Theory come out to help Rollins as they’ve already been involved in a storyline with the WWE Champion along with Andrade.

This will help Rollins gain the upper hand once again and come across as a major heel.This could also open up the possibility of such an interference during the Championship match at Money in the Bank.

#1 An unexpected interference makes things more interesting

Will the common enemy appear once again?

While a lot can go down on Monday Night RAW when Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre enter the ring for the contract signing segment, there is one thing that can’t be ruled out, and that is the interference of an unexpected Superstar.

Rollins and McIntyre had the same enemy when they were climbing up the ranks to win the Championship and we could see him appear on RAW once again. Brock Lesnar could arrive on RAW this week to stare down both men and send them a message, signaling that he is not yet done with both men and the WWE Championship.

Last year, Lesnar gatecrashed Money in the Bank and won the men’s ladder match for the briefcase. He later cashed in the briefcase against Rollins at Tables, Ladders, and Chairs (TLC) to take back the Universal Championship.

This interference will make a lot of sense, considering the past these two men have with The Beast Incarnate.

Alternatively, Kevin Owens could also show up to talk down Rollins and how he deserves a title opportunity before Rollins. Tom Colohue of Sportskeeda has already spoken to Korey Gunz regarding this during the latest Dropkick DiSKussions, and the chances for interference is high this week due to their shared enemies.
