Looking Ahead
McIntyre's win over Priest at WrestleMania 41 might not be remembered in years to come, but if it propels McIntyre back to the top of the card, it will be considered a success.

With McIntyre being arguably WWE's best all-around performer, it's high time he's returned to the main event scene.

However, despite the controversy and unrealized potential, McIntyre and Priest delivered a solid match at WrestleMania 41, leaving fans hopeful for a future rematch under different circumstances.
