Prediction
The whole storyline, starting with McIntyre losing the title, looked like giving McIntyre his moment in front of the fans at WrestleMania which he was robbed off last year. At one time, it seemed that Hurt Business and Bobby Lashley are too important now to lose. However, half of the faction has changed last week. This tilts the chances for Drew McIntyre to win the title some more.
