Drew McIntyre faced off against Kurt Angle on RAW this week and he squashed Angle, using his own moves against him before making him tap out to an Ankle Lock. From the looks of it, Drew is slowly getting positioned into a top spot.
On the latest audio update of PW Insider Elite, Mike Johnson discussed the match, comparing it to another famous passing of the torch match over a decade ago. This is what he said:
This really was one of the biggest wins they have positioned him with thus far in the company. It’s very similar to the night that Brock Lesnar just wiped out Hulk Hogan and beat him […] they pretty much made it clear that this guy was going to be the guy one day. That was kind of the goal here with Drew McIntyre wiping out Kurt Angle and you know Kurt was very aggressive early on but as the longer, the match went Drew controlled the flow of it.”
So it seems Drew will become the top guy of RAW soon enough if the match was any indication.
Here is Brock’s match in question, dating all the way back to 2002.
