7 Things WWE subtly told us on RAW: Unexpected romantic storyline, Superstar set for massive push after backstage segment with Triple H? (January 11th, 2021)

#2 The Drew McIntyre-Goldberg situation on RAW

Drew McIntyre was originally scheduled to face Randy Orton on RAW in a non-title match, but it was then revealed that he had tested positive for COVID-19. While WWE normally doesn't announce positive tests, it only makes sense since Drew McIntyre happens to be the WWE Champion.

Thankfully, he revealed that he is asymptomatic, and will be under quarantine for presumably 10-14 days.

Drew McIntyre had to respond to Goldberg, and he couldn't do it at the ThunderDome. Instead, he sat at home and responded to the WWE Hall of Famer on RAW, telling him that he accepted his challenge from the previous week.

We're not sure how it will turn out, but Drew McIntyre's chances at Royal Rumble could be slim. He has been the face of RAW for almost all of 2020, but don't be surprised if all that comes crashing down in a short match. It wouldn't be the first time WWE worked so hard to build a Superstar just to feed them to Goldberg.
