#4 Drew McIntyre beat Goldberg clean in under three minutes at WWE Royal Rumble 2021
Admit it. You really thought Goldberg was going to destroy Drew McIntyre and win the WWE Championship on Sunday night. Thankfully, that event didn’t happen on Sunday night at the Royal Rumble.
Goldberg has had a lot of success defeating younger WWE stars and take their championships over the last few years. We can think of the sad tales of Kevin Owens and The Fiend as examples. It seemed very possible that Drew McIntyre might just lose the WWE Championship title to the 54-year-old Goldberg at Royal Rumble on Sunday night. But a truly surprising thing happened instead. Goldberg put over McIntyre clean in under three minutes.
Drew McIntyre kicked out of Goldberg’s spears and Jackhammer. It ended with McIntyre hitting the Claymore kick to pull off a clean pinfall victory. It established McIntyre in a positive way as a major star. It was just surprising to see it occur so quickly. Even by Goldberg standards, it was a short match.
For the long term future of WWE, it was a very positive development that occurred at the Royal Rumble. Hopefully, it will push Drew McIntyre to a new level as he heads into WrestleMania.
