If Drew McIntyre made any mistake in his grueling defeat of Dean Ambrose two weeks ago, it’s that he left The Lunatic Fringe with enough in the tank to get back up. He didn’t make that mistake twice.
Challenged by Ambrose to a Last Man Standing Match — the former WWE Champion took exception with Drew’s claim that he had been “exterminated” — McIntyre couldn’t help but respect Ambrose’s tenacity, but that was where all sportsmanship began and ended. In what was half a statement to Roman Reigns and perhaps half an acknowledgement that yes, keeping an actual cockroach down would probably be easier, The Scottish Psychopath brought everything but the kitchen sink against The Lunatic Fringe. That his plan of attack didn’t include an actual kitchen sink was the only sign of restraint; Ambrose was subjected to a Kendo stick to the torso, a slingshot into the underbelly of the ring, a tackle through a table and finally a Claymore before he was finally unable to answer the count of 10.
The idea of what Ambrose was fighting for remained something of a mystery to the commentary team. Was he fighting for pride? For the memory of The Shield? Just because he likes to? The WWE Universe ended Raw no closer to a consensus answer on that front. McIntyre, however, required no such speculation, as his step over Ambrose and gaze toward the WrestleMania sign made clear: It’s on to New York and a match with Roman Reigns. The rest is just ruin in his wake.
