WWE Royal Rumble 2020 Predictions: Final four in the men's Rumble match

#2 Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre is one of the few men left in the company who can reasonably give Lesnar a run for his money in a one on one match. He's routinely mentioned that he's never received a major title shot and that none of the Champions have offered him one since he's been back.

We're seeing him go through a slow face turn as he asks the crowd's opinions on things each week. That's not something that heels do. The crowd has responded favorably to the Scottish Psycopath and the matches he's had as a guy turning to the side of good.

A lot of fans and analysts have wondered why he hasn't already had title shots or at least a title run since he's come back to the WWE. McIntyre is a complete performer and has the "never had a title shot" fact in his favor. Depending on the Superstar, fans will usually root for someone they feel is deserving of a push or a title shot. It's why Cesaro is viewed differently by the management and by the fans. The fans love him and he's immensely talented but for some reason, those facts have never amounted to huge pushes or title opportunities.

McIntyre has been ready to break through as a legit main-event star but the direction hasn't been there for him. This could be his year to finally get a title shot. The Royal Rumble should be used to help turn performers into stars rather than give people who have already won titles more opportunities at titles. If WWE wants to catapult someone into stardom, they could give McIntyre a win in this year's match.
