Sometimes, when WWE makes something very obvious and very evident, they tend to swerve us in the process. Case in point, they made us think that Shayna Baszler was going to win the Royal Rumble match based on how quickly she eliminated the field, but she succumbed to Charlotte Flair soon after.
While it is a remote possibility because of how all the pieces have lined up, there's always the chance that Drew McIntyre will choose to go after The Fiend and not Brock Lesnar. There are rumors about Tyson Fury and Cain Velasquez coming back to WWE for another run, and if that is Brock Lesnar's big WrestleMania match, McIntyre could definitely tussle with the supernatural.
If Drew McIntyre does become the first person to defeat The Fiend, it would certainly establish him as the face of the blue brand and could even set up a feud with Roman Reigns to be the face of the company. It is unlikely, but then, when is a surprise ever likely?
