Predicting all the WWE title holders walking into SummerSlam

WWE Championship - Drew McIntyre

McIntyre needs to maintain his title run through SummerSlam.

While Strowman is deserving of winning a top title in WWE, he didn't have to wait almost 20 years just to get his first major title shot. Drew McIntyre did and he was paid off with a huge victory over the Beast at WM 36.

Seth Rollins was the first to challenge the new Champion and McIntyre put him away. The Scottish Psychopath will next face Bobby Lashley. This Lashley could be the best version since he appears more focused and dangerous under the tutelage of MVP. While the Almighty may be a huge physical test for McIntyre, the current Champion will remain in possession of his belt after WWE Backlash.

The door opens up after that because any number of men could be next in line. Will the winner of Edge vs. Randy Orton get a shot? Is Andrade moving up the card despite losing the US Championship? We could also see Kevin Owens get a shot or a revisiting of 3MB if Jinder Mahal gets a chance at the belt.

Whatever happens and whoever is in his way, the Scottish Psychopath will dispatch of every challenger in his path. He needs to have a long reign as the men who beat Lesnar should. The Beast doesn't drop titles to just anyone so McIntyre's first reign has to be long and meaningful in the long run. He'll walk into and out of SummerSlam as WWE Champion.
