A lot of fans were confused as to why WWE booked an impromptu WWE Title match in this way. McIntyre retained over The Big Show in his first title defense and he looked strong in the process. That was WWE’s goal.

PW Insider reports that WWE’s intentions for McIntyre vs Big Show was to show McIntyre overcoming another monster. WWE is obviously building Drew McIntyre to be a very tough champion.

The idea to show McIntyre beating both Lesnar and Show in succession, taking out two of the biggest beasts in the company in one fell swoop.
