7 things WWE subtly told us on RAW: Huge break-up teased, major reason why Lesnar isn't defending title at Royal Rumble (December 6th, 2020)

#2 Drew McIntyre's potential character change and Royal Rumble chances

Drew McIntyre may not have been in any active storyline for a while now, but WWE has made sure to protect him the best they can. He has been gaining some momentum slowly but steadily and after decimating No Way Jose in a matter of time, he declared himself as a participant in the Men's Royal Rumble 2020 match.

What was interesting, however, is the fact that he acted like a babyface after the match. He teased a face turn by interacting with the crowd and hitting a Claymore Kick on No Way Jose - even though that's not a very babyface thing to do.

However, his popularity was audible in the arena and on TV and with the string of wins that he's picked up, we believe that he has a legitimate chance at winning the Royal Rumble match. He could even turn face in the process.
