Sami Zayn and Drew McIntyre — Drew McIntyre is a former WWE Champion

Drew McIntyre found help in an unlikely place, which helped him defeat Sami Zayn tonight on RAW.

Rhea Ripley has been busy as of late trying to add more members to The Judgment Day. Last week on RAW, Seth Rollins showed footage of The Eradicator talking to Drew McIntyre. Tonight on the red brand, the Women's World Champion offered Judgment Day's services to Rollins.

Drew McIntyre himself has been going through some hard times as of late, especially since Jey Uso joined RAW. He has shown a more heelish side to him in recent weeks and even challenged Sami Zayn to match last week.

The bout was going well. Both superstars put on a spectacular show that had the fans on their feet for most of the match. However, just when it looked like Zayn might have won the match, Mami came out and distracted him. This allowed Drew McIntyre to hit the Claymore kick for the win.

Following the match, Drew just left the ring and walked past Rhea Ripley without acknowledging her presence. It remains to be seen what this means for McIntyre and Ripley.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
