Drew McIntyre and Goldberg are both babyfaces and we can tell that from the show of respect that we saw at the end of the match. However, the one thing to remember is that Drew McIntyre was the clear babyface for a very vocal minority heading into his big match with Goldberg.
This is the internet fanbase that has been very critical of Goldberg's wrestling, especially if you consider that the veil has been lifted and the world has realized that he isn't exactly Daniel Bryan in the ring. This vocal minority would have been very critical of the fact that Goldberg was the Champion once again, defeating a full-time performer like Drew McIntyre, as can be gauged from the Tweet shared below.
WWE would not have wanted this backlash, especially to start off an event of this magnitude, which is why Drew McIntyre went over on this occasion. The internet is never happy, but at least on this occasion, they seem satisfied.
