#1. Drew McIntyre's filler feud on SmackDown

Drew McIntyre is now without Jeff Hardy on SmackDown, meaning that his feud against Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss is him alone. Perhaps it was more suitable, and he was in one of the more enjoyable segments.

We're certainly not implying that Moss' jokes are enjoyable because they aren't. But what was enjoyable on SmackDown was seeing McIntyre get his big babyface pop. The prop for "Happy Talk" this week was the stolen table from Adam Pearce's office.

For those who forgot, last week on the blue brand, Pearce told The Scottish Warrior that he wasn't allowed to take the sword to the ring. McIntyre simply jammed it into his table, and Corbin and Moss stole that.

They were unable to do so, and Drew McIntyre pulled the sword out, just like a hero from a mythological story. What this realistically presents is a filler feud for McIntyre on SmackDown. WWE is simply dragging it out, presumably to get a Drew McIntyre-Happy Corbin match next year.

Will Drew McIntyre be the one to dethrone Roman Reigns? WWE seems to be keeping the two men as far apart as possible.
