The moment Drew McIntyre entered the Rumble and locked eyes with Brock Lesnar, fans knew that they were about to witness something special. The Scotsman ascended to the true heights of being a star when he Claymored the Beast Incarnate out of the match. McIntyre then went on to win the entire thing.
The events that took place after the Rumble solidified his position in the main event picture. McIntyre started a feud with Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship and defeated the Beast Incarnate at WrestleMania 36 to win his first World title in WWE.
His win was poetic in nature. McIntyre had accomplished what he set out to do almost ten years ago.
The win represented all his struggles and the hard work he had to put in on the independent circuit before returning to WWE.
Drew McIntyre is still the WWE Champion at this moment and his reigns seem to be going strong. Almost a year later, this Sunday at the Royal Rumble, Drew McIntyre is set to defend his WWE Championship against Goldberg.

While Edge was a despised villain for the majority of his first run with WWE, Zain loved his commitment to the character. He admired his ability to narrate a compelling story with his subtle moves and actions inside the ring. He believes no one in the business has come close to the Hall of Famer in terms of staying true to their on-screen gimmick.
If Zain were to book an eye-catching WWE angle, he would pit Cody Rhodes against CM Punk. Zain would have Rhodes highlight Punk’s hypocrisy in coming back to the global juggernaut. Their interaction would lead to Punk turning heel and engaging in a high-profile match with The American Nightmare at a Big Four Premium Live Event.
When not writing, Zain loves to read philosophy, play chess, where he has represented his country at the national level.
