Seth Rollins has continued his stupendous run with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship after winning the title in May in Saudi Arabia. He experienced glory yet again in the Arab country as he retained his title despite an ailing back. Last night, he fought in a grueling encounter against Drew McIntyre.
Though Rollins won the match, he did not come out unscathed. On the other hand, the Scotsman succumbed to a painful defeat, despite displaying a valiant effort. But how could he turn heartbreak into redemption? Let’s explore an avenue of possibilities.

We speculate three possibilities for Drew McIntyre following his loss against Seth Rollins at Crown Jewel on November 4th.
1. Alliance with The Judgment Day: McIntyre has tried his best to become a WWE Champion again after his win against Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania in front of an empty arena. He faced Roman Reigns at Clash at the Castle PLE but got screwed by Solo Sikoa.
He confronted Seth Rollins on RAW on October 16th for a championship opportunity, which The Visionary gladly accepted. But after a hard-fought battle against the ailing champion, he faced another setback. The post-match segment featured a comforting Rhea Ripley standing beside a disappointing McIntyre.
Hence, an alliance with The Judgment Day looks like a high probability as McIntyre could give into his desperation for a title win. His last WWE Championship Title win was against Randy Orton on Nov 16th, 2020.
A rematch or a new dawn? McIntyre could have his pick
2. Rematch with Seth Rollins: McIntyre might have lost his match against Seth Rollins, but does it mean that the Scottish Warrior is done with The Cisionary? After a valiant effort in the opening show of the event, McIntyre has again impressed the management.
So, WWE might continue with the feud as the two superstars share great in-ring chemistry. Another opportunity for McIntyre would be ideal for him as he came scathingly close to winning his third world title.

3. Going solo as a Heel: For a long time, WWE has placed breadcrumbs on the prospect of a heel turn for Drew McIntyre. They have teased a heel turn for him for many months now based on his frustration at failing to win a championship for so long.
The loss against Rollins at Crown Jewel might be the final nail in the coffin for McIntyre. Hence, we might see a heel phase for the Scottish Warrior, but in a single run.
