#3 To push Drew McIntyre's singles run

Drew McIntyre made a huge statement when he made his second main roster debut. Ziggler and he would have made an unstoppable pair, but with RAW's Tag Team Title picture looking stacked, Ziggler winning the IC Title isn't such a bad call.

Ziggler capturing the IC Title helps these two competitors to go their own way. A man with McIntyre's physique deserves to be near the main event picture. This week, Kurt Angle announced that there will be a multi-man match at Extreme Rules to crown the next challenger to Brock Lesnar's Universal Title.

We know that Lashley and Reigns are going to be a part of this match, but who could the remaining competitors be? With Strowman winning the MITB briefcase, it almost doesn't matter who the No. 1 Contender is. Strowman is the kind of contender who would insert himself in a match making it a triple threat one from the get-go.

Speaking of other possible contenders, McIntyre wouldn't be the worst option. While It may be premature for him to dethrone The Beast, inserting McIntyre in that match along with big names like Lashley and Reigns will help his credibility by leaps and bounds. This won't be the worst booking option as the crowd is bored of Reigns and boos him as soon as it sees his face.
