5 Directions For New WWE Champion Drew McIntyre Following WrestleMania 36
Where does the new champ go from here?
1. Edge
As far as potential face vs. face matches go, especially among two guys who are fairly evenly matched from a physical standpoint, Edge vs. McIntyre looks like a strong play. There's also the easy, "Edge wants one more World title shot/reign" angle to put in motion, and that's something people can get behind.
The two have a little bit of history, albeit minor history at that - some of Edge's final matches before retirement came against a middling McIntyre, running through him in short matches on SmackDown in 2011. McIntyre can easily play the, "I'm not that pushover anymore" card, and suddenly, you have two heroes with something to prove: the ageing vet that he still "has it", and the young champion that he's no fluke. Just keep it under 36 minutes, please.
