WrestleMania 35: 3 reasons why Roman Reigns vs Drew McIntyre should not happen at the PPV

Drew McIntyre was at the top of the RAW roster a few months back and was the biggest and most fearful heel. He was destined to get to the top and was groomed to become a future Universal Champion. Roman's hiatus changed the plans a bit and Drew's grooming process was fast-tracked and he became the next in line, after Rollins, to become the champion.

Reigns was out of WWE TV to fight leukemia, which led to him missing months of action. Although he came back in record time and now wants to reclaim his yard, there's a huge roadblock in his way - Drew McIntyre.

McIntyre has scored victories over all three members of the Shield and he started it with brutalizing Reigns, which kept him off TV last week. The rumor mill has been doing the rounds that the whole angle was done to set a match between both superstars at WrestleMania 35.

While WrestleMania is a stage for the best to collide, I prefer just this one match doesn't get on the card this year.

Here are some of the reasons why it shouldn't feature on WrestleMania this year.

#3 Too many matches

This year's show might be the longest running PPV of all time

WrestleMania this year is rumored to feature 17 matches, which is by far the greatest number of matches in a single PPV put up by the company. It brings down WrestleMania 4 to the second position, as it featured 16 matches.

Moreover, there are rumors of some impromptu matchups involving the Undertaker, either with Elias or the Demon persona of Finn Balor, which adds up more matches. A match between two of the biggest current superstars is surely going to span for at least twenty minutes, which if removed, can free up time for the aforementioned, and also for the other matches.

#2 Less focus on the match

Batista created a huge impression from the get-go

As said in the previous slide, the show is going to feature at least 17 matches. 3 of these matches are high profile title feuds and a match between the ex Evolution stablemates, and each program is over with the WWE Universe. Reigns and McIntyre are no mid-carders, their match deserves much more recognition if not headlining the event.

Thus, getting a main-event caliber match crunched among these many matches isn't a good idea.

Their first singles encounter on PPV should be saved for a better time and shouldn't be wasted here.

#1 They can light up the IC title match

A triple threat among three powerhouses - Reigns, McIntyre, and The Almighty

At the moment of writing this article, there's no official match set for the IC title. There aren't even any rumors about who is going to face Bobby Lashley at WrestleMania. If the Demon vs the Undertaker doesn't work out, then by default Lashley vs Balor happens at WrestleMania.

But if the match between Reigns and McIntyre is scrapped and they both are added to the Intercontinental title match, then the match automatically gets a star power boost, which is certainly more interesting than Balor vs Lashley for the umpteenth time. Also, as discussed previously, it frees up some much needed time and also allows Balor to do his Demon King act.
