Roman Reigns is going to fight Drew McIntyre on Sunday, and the lingering question thus far has been whether or not he should have taken the bait from The Scottish Psychopath. Nobody has bothered to question whether Reigns can handle the bout ... at least until tonight.
As Dasha Fuentes pointed out, while Reigns looked great alongside The Shield last month, The Big Dog has been overwhelmed by McIntyre at every turn, from the beatdown three weeks ago to the low blow last week. And despite Reigns' insistence that he was 100 percent cleared for singles action, an out-of-nowhere bushwhacking from McIntyre left the former Universal Champion struggling to his feet just moments later. Prognostications of a surefire defeat are, of course, a little hasty: Six days is plenty of time to right the ship, and Reigns’ dogged pride has carried him to many an unlikely victory. But McIntyre may well have baited him into a fight he can't win.
