Drew played his part in getting Roman where he is, much respect to Drew and i enjoyed their recent feud. Time will come again but for now i acknowledge the Tribal chief. Much respect

[@L1ghtOn3]

Definitely especially his last wins over Drew cemented his place as no.1 Drew is a class act, he really loves his fans and is a big fan of the WWE and wrestling as a whole, something Reigns doesn't show even coming from a wrestling family it was like he was just part of the scene already without having to do much but just turn up and be given opportunities. Drew worked his ass off, especially his 2nd time in WWE his mic and camera work is much better, he gets a lot of media too which will only help him further. Drews journey is great and resonates with myself being down then build yourself back up reaching ur goals. I do think Drew deserves that big win at WM39/40 against Reigns or the Rock someone to elevate him even more as the Lesnar win was a bit subdued due to the pandemic, Drew was a great babyface during thunderdome times and was the king of it tbh. The Lashley feud went on too long and people started to moan, but it doesn't mean he goes away from the main event, no way, just no, after building up to the main spot just to fade away? No, that's no McIntyre fans or true WWE fans for that matter, as the only way for Drew to dethrone Reigns is to be unstoppable just like Reigns, if McIntyre gets beat too many times the fans will not feel him as a top babyface and cheer for him as he is weak. Give Drew the Reigns treatment just like his WWE Championship run and get a good feud going between them, don't just throw Drew in the middle of a feud i.e. Reigns v Lesnar, it won't work. They should have had Lesnar go for Drew, I don't understand why they never first, had Lesnar beat Drew for the WWE Championship then a rematch or Lesnar go for Reigns then have Drew go for both of them! There has to be a reason to have the feud, having Drew just "win" the odd match here n there does nothing, while Reigns gets built built built built and he doesn't need to be he's already there, you need opponents like McIntyre so build them instead or WWE will just be Reigns and get boring very fast and the booing will start. Drew should be the one to dethrone Reigns and get that well deserved pop. 👍

[@SavageUnchained]

@@L1ghtOn3 really good points i couldn't agree more, Drew needs what he gave Roman, Brock helped alot but a good storyline, buildup and getting the W over Roman or the Rock would elevate him beyond bonafide star to Legend, which is what WWE needs. Stars are born out of rivalries and i thought Drew and Roman brought out the best in each other during the contract signing segment. Both were superb

Go get that Universal Championship Drew.....you deserve that massive pop in front of a live audience! This is the Big One...even bigger than beating Lesnar as it would place you at the very top of the mountain, Roman is a good heel, but Drew is a better heel when booked right, if Reigns never had Heyman or the Usos he wouldn't come off as gd as he does right now. Maybe Heyman is something that Drew would look at possibly 6-8 years down the line. I bet next heel turn for Drew is very gd and at the very top, then the next face turn is the absolute pinnacle and on another level.....just watch, I can smell it....like it's cooking!
