Drew McIntyre had an arduous night on Raw facing Ricochet and Mustafa Ali back-to-back. Unfortunately, he’s in for another rough session against Baron Corbin next week. The most hated person in the company right now, Corbin arrived on Raw for the simple goal to take out Drew McIntyre.

If he successfully takes out McIntyre, he’ll get an automatic title shot against Bobby Lashley and the chance to headline WrestleMania. As for Lashley, he’ll have a much easier night taking out Corbin instead of the Scottish Warrior.

To overcome Corbin, we’ll have to see the Scottish Psychopath return and destroy his foe. Lashley has proven capable of beating McIntyre by beating his best friend Sheamus twice on Raw. McIntyre is a tough challenge, but will he be able to beat the former King of the Ring?
