5 Things WWE Secretly Told Us On Monday Night Raw - Vince McMahon speaking to us through Sami Zayn, Drew Mcintyre protected?

#3 Drew Mcintyre was protected to avoid a pay-per-view feel clash with A.J. Styles

Mcintyre will be kept far away from the Universal Championship

Although many have vehemently criticized the idea of seeing Baron Corbin fight with A.J. Styles in the main event of Monday Night Raw, the company eventually went with the right decision.

The Phenomenal One is now slated to lock horns with Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship. This certainly means that the creative team will keep Drew Mcintyre far away from the most coveted prize on the red brand.

Considering that he possesses all the credentials to become one of the greatest Universal Champions in the game, Corbin pinning The Miz tonight felt necessary.

The Scottish Terminator despite hitting The Claymore Kick ended up being unlucky. This could mean that WWE wanted to protect Mcintyre to avoid a blockbuster collision with The Phenomenal One on television.

A match of that stature definitely has a PPV feel to it and it was clinical of Vince McMahon to not go ahead with the decision of having Mcintyre wrestle Styles in a high-stakes bout.
