#1. Drew McIntyre continues to prove why he could win the Royal Rumble

A nice opener

Drew McIntyre has subtly been gaining momentum on RAW each week. It's one of those cases where the company has been very careful to push and protect him without outright revealing that he could be 'the guy'.

It's been a while since he last lost a match and he has been getting stronger reactions every week. We were supposed to see Randy Orton and AJ Styles open the show in a WrestleMania 35 rematch but McIntyre interjected and added himself to the match.

It was a fantastic opener to the show and Orton hit the Styles Clash, which AJ Styles kicked out of, but The Phenomenal One couldn't kick out of the RKO. However, it wasn't Orton who got the pin - it was McIntyre.

He is going to be one of the favorites to win the Royal Rumble. If not, it's almost guaranteed that he'll be in the final three or four. But the way he's being pushed seems to suggest that he's a frontrunner for the win.
