The 2020 Royal Rumble match winner, Drew McIntyre, is finally on his way to a WWE World Championship. After being earmarked by Vince McMahon as 'The Chosen One', McIntyre succumbed to pressure and, as a result, was released at the end of his first stint.

Although he did show potential in his early days in the company, it didn't quite work out for McIntrye, who had to search elsewhere for rejuvenation.

However, the release proved to be a blessing in disguise. McIntrye worked on his skills as a pro wrestler at various promotions such as ICW, Evolve, and TNA as well.

During his time away from the WWE, Drew improved in leaps and bounds, which once again made him a sought after talent. His performances elsewhere earned him yet another go at WWE stardom as he was re-signed by WWE.

McIntrye's ascent to the main event scene in his second stint began in WWE NXT. The Scottish Psychopath won the NXT Championship by beating Bobby Roode, although his reign didn't last long.

He was soon after promoted to the main roster, where he has achieved some success as a singles competitor. Along with Dolph Ziggler, McIntyre won the Raw Tag Team Championship as well. Apart from a few notable feuds with Roman Reigns and Finn Balor, Drew McIntyre was underused for most parts of 2018 and 2019.

However, Drew McIntyre finally broke through with a mesmerizing performance in the Royal Rumble match this year. Apart from winning the Royal Rumble match, the Scottish Psychopath also eliminated Brock Lesnar, who he will be facing at WrestleMania 36.

With his Royal Rumble win, Drew McIntyre has firmly established himself as one of the go-to men in the WWE. With the prospect of becoming the first Scottish superstar to win a WWE World Championship in sight, Drew McIntyre looks set to fulfill his potential as he embarks on a relatively new experience as a face.
