Drew McIntyre's loss at the hands of Roman Reigns a little less than a year ago at Clash at the Castle remains one of WWE's most missed opportunities - a blow only stymied by the continued success of The Bloodline Storyline and Reigns' record-setting run as a WWE champion. But, while fans greeted McIntyre as a hero back then, it appears the O2 Arena in London might have to prepare themselves for the possibility of The Scottish Warrior turning heel at the event.

Raw, in the absence of its headline stars, has been suffering from a glaring void of top-tier talent. A situation exacerbated by the absence of Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre, leaving the show's main event scene bereft of the intensity fans crave. However, one positive consequence of their extended hiatus is the greater visibility afforded to upper midcard villains such as Gunther, Finn Balor, and the rest of Judgment Day. But with Raw being forced to rekindle the Seth Rollins vs. Balor feud for the World Heavyweight Championship, despite its previous culmination in the WHC tournament, it underscores the scarcity of credible heels on Raw.

In these dire times, the potential return of Orton and McIntyre is akin to a beacon of hope.
