WWE RAW: 2 superstars who flopped and 3 who impressed – Randy Orton’s devastating RKOs, 3-time world champion brutalized by returning superstar (May 10th, 2021)

#2 Impressed on WWE RAW: Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre was incredible on WWE RAW this week

The main event of this week’s WWE RAW saw Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley face each other in a brutal singles match. We have seen both these superstars engage in several good matches recently, and once again, they didn’t disappoint. McIntyre looked at the top of his game and pushed the reigning WWE Champion to his limits.

The Scottish Warrior moved Lashley all around the ring with ease. He also kept an eye on MVP throughout the match and dodged the blows that have hurt him before. McIntyre took a lot of punishment but eventually managed to gain complete control of the match. He was very close to pinning Lashley on WWE RAW, but Braun Strowman’s interference led to the main event ending in disqualification.

Earlier in the show, MVP had asked Strowman to help Lashley in the main event and take McIntyre out of the equation. The Monster Among Men first attacked McIntyre and then manhandled Lashley to make a strong statement ahead of their triple-threat title match for the WWE Championship. All three superstars were booked strongly on WWE RAW’s final show before the pay-per-view, but McIntyre looked the most promising.
