#2 Drew McIntyre
Drew McIntyre has had a long run on the main roster, without any title wrapped around his waist. Tonight, he was one of the participants in the fatal 4-way to determine the number one contender for the United States Championship. The same match that granted Mysterio the opportunity to challenge Styles for the title.
McIntyre is a promising Superstar and deserves to enter the title picture. It would be unfair to ask him to focus directly on the most coveted prize in the brand - the WWE Championship. That would appear to be a forced push that will ultimately end up destroying every bit of repertoire that he has built.
Following the 2019 Draft, McIntyre moved to RAW, and he can now be booked to have a meaningful run on the Red brand. If he gets to challenge Rey Mysterio, he will be going up against a legend and McIntyre strongly believes that this day and age belong to the up and coming Superstar.
This rivalry may also witness McIntyre turning into an anti-hero which will help revamp his character on the Red brand.
