WWE Fastlane 2021: 3 things that shouldn’t happen at the PPV and 2 things that should – Roman Reigns’ WrestleMania moment on the line, 3-time world champion to return?

#2 Should happen at WWE Fastlane: Drew McIntyre beats Sheamus in their match

Sheamus and Drew McIntyre will deliver a memorable match

Drew McIntyre is scheduled to face his former best friend Sheamus at WWE Fastlane. The latter had turned on McIntyre when he was still the WWE Champion. Sheamus wanted a shot at the title and was one of the five Superstars who challenged McIntyre for the WWE Championship inside the Elimination Chamber.

While McIntyre managed to defend his gold, he lost the WWE Championship after The Miz cashed in his Money in the Bank contract. The title currently resides with Bobby Lashley, but McIntyre is determined to reclaim his championship at WrestleMania. A victory against Sheamus will help him regain momentum before he faces Lashley next month.

Both McIntyre and Sheamus have already shown how good they can be inside the ring. We expect another brutal encounter between the two Superstars at WWE Fastlane, with McIntyre emerging victorious.

This is not to say that the feud between McIntyre and Sheamus will end at WWE Fastlane. Both Superstars deserve an intense feud on WWE RAW. The creative can continue that angle on the Red brand and restart the title rivalry between the two former best friends when McIntyre inevitably reclaims the title.
