This is a match that is extremely likely to happen in 2021, but it should happen later in the year. The friendship between Drew McIntyre and Sheamus has been built up pretty well, with an interesting dynamic between the pair. It is rare that WWE books faces and heels to be friendly with each other.

Sheamus should remain in this role as Drew McIntyre's best friend for a while before his eventual heel turn. Whenever that may be, expect the match between McIntyre and Sheamus to be a slugfest.

The Celtic Warrior has had a great 2020, with some big victories and impressive showings against the likes of Jeff Hardy and Riddle. His 2021 could be as big, with a match with his mate looming large. WWE should delay Sheamus' turn for as long as possible, as it would build more and more anticipation for this big match.

WWE is in dire need of some good storytelling, and they have been presented with one great story on a platter. It is up to them to make the eventual collision between Drew McIntyre and Sheamus as big as possible.
