#1 Drew McIntyre wins the Men’s Royal Rumble
It seems like Drew McIntyre has everything you need, to be the biggest star in the WWE. He was the deemed the “Chosen One” by Vince McMahon back in 2009, at the young age of 24.
But, he never got on track before becoming a comedy act and being released from the company in 2014.
Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?
He came back to NXT and then the main roster again in 2018, but it was frustrating to see such a talented wrestler lose big matches time and time again. That finally changed on Sunday night.
The crowd erupted when he became the man to eliminate WWE Champion Brock Lesnar. He eliminated the most hated heel, King Corbin, for the match. He eliminated Seth Rollins to the true delight of the crowd. And finally, he eliminated one of the biggest names in the company, Roman Reigns to win the Rumble itself.
It is surprising and refreshing to see WWE take a chance on a fresh and unexpected Royal Rumble winner. I believe Drew will defeat Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania and finally earn that “Chosen One” mantle once and for all.
