We know that Vince McMahon chooses not to make as many on-screen appearances for a reason. It's a valid reason, but we would like to see him featured a bit more heading into WrestleMania just for the McIntyre-Lesnar story.

If you're not aware, it was over ten years ago when Vince McMahon declared Drew McIntyre as a "future World Champion" and made him the "Chosen One". That never came to fruition in his first run, but it was a prophecy that could come true well after it was expected to.

The "Chosen One" story arc is a brilliant one - one that will make Drew McIntyre an even bigger babyface. He doesn't need to be a generic crowd-pleasing babyface and it feels as though the Chosen One storyline needs to come full circle.

If not now, then when? WWE has subtly been playing it out whether they intended to or not. Either way, Drew McIntyre has Paul Heyman to thank for actively pushing him.
