Royal Rumble 2021: 2 things that shouldn’t happen at the PPV and 3 things that should – Roman Reigns’ title feud, Goldberg wins WWE Championship?

#2 Should happen at Royal Rumble 2021 – Drew McIntyre seeks immediate redemption after losing to Goldberg

In an ideal world, Drew McIntyre would retain the WWE Championship at Royal Rumble 2021. This time last year, he eliminated Brock Lesnar with a Claymore and became the biggest babyface in the promotion. He embraced that 'good guy' image without losing his dominance, and that was something that we hadn’t seen in WWE for a while.

Unfortunately for him, McIntyre will face Goldberg, and the latter is most likely win the WWE Championship at Royal Rumble. The WWE Universe has reluctantly accepted this ever since Goldberg returned and challenged McIntyre for the title. Between losing his title to a legend and a plausible threat from a MITB cash-in, McIntyre doesn’t have odds in his favor at Royal Rumble.

Despite his loss, McIntyre can still turn things around if he decides to enter the Royal Rumble. There is no particular Superstar who has a good momentum to back him in the men’s Royal Rumble. Having McIntyre enter in this match at the very last moment will account for an interesting booking. More than anything, it will allow the creative to protect one of the Superstars who carried the promotion in the absence of its biggest stars last year.
