McIntyre eliminated Roman Reigns in the end to bag the coveted shot, and WWE's official Instagram handle was quick to acknowledge this career-defining moment.
WWE posted a picture on Instagram immediately after McIntyre's win, which showed The Scottish Psychopath taking it all in, moments after winning the annual free-for-all.
The post garnered a massive response from fans and wrestlers alike, but one response that stood among all was that of Ricochet's.
The former WWE United States Champion indicated that he had a hand in McIntyre winning the match, and posted "You're welcome" in the comments. Check out the post and Ricochet's reply below:
McIntyre entered in at #16 last night, while Lesnar was busy mauling Ricochet in the ring. Ricochet surprise Lesnar from behind while The Beast was about to take on McIntyre, and this gave the latter enough time to eliminate Lesnar from the match.
McIntyre went on to last till the very end, eliminating the likes of Seth Rollins, King Corbin and Reigns to win the Royal Rumble.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
