Drew McIntyre stands tall once again on WWE Raw
A returning Heath Slater asked The Scottish Psychopath for a match politely to which he first refused.

The match finished even before it started. The Chosen One lived up to the words on his t-shirt – ” Talk Less, Clay More.”
Post the match, Ziggler attacked Slater because of his failed attempt. The champ could not see his friend getting battered even though they just had a rough moment.
The Scottish Psychopath saved Slater and both embraced each other. The duo then held the 3MB sign up high.

Dolph Ziggler is scheduled to face Drew McIntyre at The Extreme Rules Horror Show for the WWE championship. The Show-off didn’t reveal the stipulation this week.
The PPV match card has some incredible performers on the list. However, many title matches are still ‘ordinary’ matches.
As it stands, these matches don’t match the name Extreme in the PPV event.
