Will a potential Royal Rumble win signal the start of a huge push for McIntyre?

Reports have suggested that the Scottish Psychopath is in line for a huge push next year.

We've started to see signs of that when he was a final member of the Raw Survivor Series team along with Braun Strowman and Bobby Lashley.

That dominance continued when he, Lashley and Baron Corbin put Strowman out of action for the foreseeable future with a brutal attack after their six-man tag match against the Monster on Raw. McIntyre has been on fire since joining Dolph Ziggler earlier this year.

He's been great on the mic and has had great matches with Finn Balor, Rollins, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns since his return.

His platform has also been refreshing, running down a lot of the 'boys in the back' for being content and complacent with just being on the roster. That criticism could easily be shifted to target a part-time wrestler who has held a stranglehold on Raw's top title.

McIntyre's even started to be noticed as the top full-time heel on Raw with his brutalizing of Kurt Angle and his bullying of Finn Balor.

While Strowman could be Universal Champion at WrestleMania 35, McIntyre would deliver against the Monster or the Beast.

If they want a clear heel/face dynamic for the 'Mania match, it would have to be Strowman vs. McIntyre. They could play on the recent history of teaming together and then McIntyre putting Braun out of action.

If they want a different marquee match, McIntyre vs. Lesnar would certainly be a big-time match/feud for WrestleMania.

McIntyre has held his own on the microphone and would do well against Paul Heyman. He is also a physical threat who can dish out just as much punishment as Lesnar. He'd be a believable threat to The Beast or The Monster Among Men.

Could his alleged push start with a win in the Royal Rumble?

It would be great for another first-time winner to earn a match at Wrestlemania rather than a former winner.
