WWE RAW Preview: New champions kickstart WrestleMania feuds, 2 former world champions slated to return? (Feb 22nd, 2021)

#5 Drew McIntyre and Sheamus continue their feud on WWE RAW

This rivalry deserves more attention on WWE RAW

Last month, Drew McIntyre lost his best friend Sheamus on WWE RAW and then lost his WWE Championship at Elimination Chamber. McIntyre is still the biggest babyface in the promotion. He also poses a huge threat to The Miz and his WWE Championship reign, but McIntyre might turn his attention towards Sheamus for a while.

His best friend betrayed him for the WWE Championship, and the two are yet to involve in an extended singles rivalry. This storyline has too much potential to ignore, and we could see them face each other on WWE RAW a lot more before WrestleMania. This feud's abrupt end will cancel Sheamus’ push into the main title picture.

Drew McIntyre doesn’t need to regain his title immediately on WWE RAW. However, the creative should still ensure that both he and Sheamus make the most of their momentum. This is a storyline that can deliver entertainment without a title, and the three-hour-long episodes of WWE RAW desperately need a narration like that. Hopefully, we will see both these Superstars involved in a memorable feud going forward.
