The expected rivalry between WWE Champion Drew McIntyre and Sheamus seems to have taken a backseat. The Celtic Warrior teased tensions with Keith Lee throughout this episode of RAW, ultimately hitting him with Brogue Kick to end the show.

While this could still lead to a contest between Sheamus and McIntyre, as the Scottish Warrior was fuming at The Celtic Warrior's actions, the immediate plan seems to be a feud between the former World Champion and Lee.

The plans for the WWE Championship challenger at Royal Rumble still seems up in the air, with AJ Styles, possibly out of the picture after today's decisive table bump he endured at the hands of McIntyre.

A returning Braun Strowman might be the right opponent for the WWE Champion at a stage as big as the Royal Rumble. Most importantly, the story writes itself. After being suspended from RAW a few weeks ago just after he demanded a Championship match, The Monster Among Men would return with his eyes set on the gold.
