Drew McIntyre and Sheamus will go head to head in an ‘Irish Donnybrook Match’ this week on SmackDown. The winner will face the Undisputed Universal Champion at Clash of the Castle in the United Kingdom. It was supposed to be a regular match but was later changed due to Sheamus’ shenanigans.

However, the question arises- who wins the match? Who deserves to main-event the gigantic premium live event in the UK?

Sheamus is a WWE legend. He is one of the most underrated wrestlers in the industry today. He can make almost everything work, and practically guarantees a banger of a match if given the chance. Unfortunately for him though, it’s not his time to shine right now. It’s easy to predict that Drew’s going to win this match.
Here is the reason why Drew McIntyre will win the Irish Donnybrook Match
Drew McIntyre is one of the most popular wrestlers in the WWE today. He is one of the very few people who can believably go toe-to-toe against superstars like Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar. He’s also a perfect fit against Roman Reigns at the PLE. He’s from Scotland so he will receive the hero’s welcome. In addition to this, it has also been rumored that Drew McIntyre could beat Roman for the title.

This rumor is something that has a great chance of coming true. McIntyre has been heavily protected since he turned face, and decisively pinned Brock lesnar at WrestleMania. He loses rarely, and carries himself like a champion. The only reason there’s a chance he won’t win is that WWE has something planned for Roman Reigns after the PLE. A title change at a UK PLE, however, will be a special moment for years to come.
But regardless of what happens in the future, it seems fairly certain that McIntyre will walk out of SmackDown as the victor. It will be interesting to see him in the main-event once again after dropping down the card a bit.
