Can these friendships withstand the test of time?

#2 Drew McIntyre attacks Ric Flair

Drew McIntyre is one of the most talented Superstars in WWE today. He was reportedly in line for a huge push that would have seen him challenge Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship. Unfortunately, Rollins started feuding with The Fiend and the above-mentioned plans were derailed.

At Crown Jewel, McIntyre will participate in Team Flair vs Team Hogan and will represent the former alongside the likes of Randy Orton, Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley, and Shinsuke Nakamura. They will lock horns with Team Hogan that features Roman Reigns, Shorty G, Ali, Ricochet, and Rusev.

Most of the WWE Superstars involved in this match have a personal rivalry with the members of the opposite team. McIntyre, on the other hand, is yet to initiate a full-fledged rivalry since being drafted to RAW earlier this month.

Despite being a heel, McIntyre has always stood against the idea of Legends being in the spotlight instead of the young talent. Thus, he may end up attacking Ric Flair to make a statement.

It is interesting to note that Ric Flair recently confirmed that he has been medically cleared for in-ring action at Crown Jewel. Hence, he may end up taking bumps in order to initiate another storyline on the Red brand.

The creatives will then use these actions to present McIntyre as a brutal heel and have ‘The Scottish Psychopath’ feud with Rollins after the pay-per-view.
