WWE SmackDown Preview: Roman Reigns returns to finally meet Brock Lesnar and confront Paul Heyman, top champion to be humbled? (17th December, 2021)

#3 Drew McIntyre continues to gain momentum on WWE SmackDown

One of the best things on WWE SmackDown at the moment is Drew McIntyre’s current run. The writers have done well in building his credibility right from scratch before he inevitably enters the title picture. This will do well to establish him as a top babyface when he crosses paths with Roman Reigns in a few months.

McIntyre was recently working alongside Jeff Hardy, but the latter has been released. Last week, The Scottish Warrior faced an old rival, Sheamus. The two superstars share a long history, and it can be used to build a memorable feud between them.

McIntyre and Sheamus’ respective runs as a babyface and a heel will benefit significantly from this storyline.

Since The Celtic Warrior has Ridge Holland on his side, it might be better to keep Cesaro involved in this storyline as well. The Swiss Cyborg deserves to be a part of better booking decisions on WWE SmackDown and has enough reasons to go after both Sheamus and his newfound protégé.

All four superstars can work together to elevate this storyline if booked well. Additionally, it might also give Drew McIntyre enough reasons to go after Adam Pearce – a common theme on the blue brand this month.
