Drew McIntyre's Royal Rumble opponent is likely to be Braun Strowman, who was rumored to face him at TLC before an injury ruled him out. The Monster Among Men was suspended in storyline for putting his hands on Adam Pearce on the post-Survivor Series episode of RAW.

Strowman has been issuing threats on social media during his absence, which could lead to a fascinating scenario when he returns. The former Universal Champion might turn full heel if he hasn't already. It remains to be seen when he will return and what he will have in store on WWE RAW.

As can be seen on his social media posts, Braun Strowman looks ripped and is ready to flip things over until he gets what he wants. That thing might be a WWE Championship opportunity against Drew McIntyre, who would be up for the challenge. The two of them are yet to have a big pay-per-view match against each other as well.

A match between Drew McIntyre and Braun Strowman - the two World Champions heading out of WrestleMania 36 - would be a great way to commemorate what might be the first WWE show to have live fans in attendance. McIntyre could earn another feather in his cap by defeating the rejuvenated Monster.
