The main event of WrestleMania 36, which emanated from an empty arena, saw Drew McIntyre collide with WWE Champion Brock Lesnar. The story was perfect—a rising babyface looking to conquer the indomitable heel en route to winning the top prize.

The Scottish Warrior versus The Beast was short, sweet, and fast-paced. Lesnar executed multiple F5s and German Suplexes, but McIntyre kicked out. Lesnar and Paul Heyman were stunned, but the champion continued the onslaught.

However, after Lesnar delivered a fourth F5, McIntyre rattled him with three successive Claymores, and he secured the pinfall. McIntyre was at the peak of the mountain, having conquered his greatest rival.

It was the most fitting conclusion to McIntyre's emotional, heart-warming rise from a stranger to the WWE Champion. The most unfortunate part was that there was no live crowd to witness the greatest moment of McIntyre's career. If WWE has the opportunity for a rematch, it should go ahead so that McIntyre can get the pop that he deserves.

Brock Lesnar put Drew McIntyre over, and there was no one better to do the honors for McIntyre.
