The Wise Man thinks there’s one problem with Drew McIntyre’s rise to the top of the WWE.
Many fans have tipped Drew McIntyre to be the one to defeat Roman Reigns. And judging by fan reactions, it is a popular thought. They have squared off previously in several different time periods. McIntyre welcomed Roman back to the ring at WrestleMania 35 and they would square off again at Survivor Series 2020.
Paul Heyman discussed the idea of Reigns losing to McIntyre in an interview Sportskeeda Wrestling:
“No doubt, but this is Roman Reigns’ era. We live in the time of the Tribal Chief, and Drew McIntyre, in my opinion, is the most amazing talent on the face of the planet, but there’s an asterisk, and that asterisk denotes ‘with the exception of Roman Reigns’, and that’s the problem for Drew McIntyre. Against anybody else, there’s no stopping Drew McIntyre, which means Roman Reigns has to be at his absolute best because one slip up against Drew McIntyre, you get hit in the face with a Claymore and you will get pinned. We don’t take Drew McIntyre lightly, he’s a danger, he’s a threat and a worthy opponent for the Tribal Chief and we’re very cognizant of that fact.”

It looks like even Paul Heyman is dying to see the pair square off once again with the WWE Universal Champion. McIntyre is tipped to face Roman at Clash Of The Castle in the UK.
