There has to be a reason why someone like Drew McIntyre who was touted to win the King of the Ring got eliminated in the first round. I mean sure, Ricochet is getting the biggest push of his career, but could he have convinced Rowan to attack Roman Reigns?
What one must remember is that McIntyre has been revealed as someone who holds a lot of sway with the McMahons, in particular, with Shane McMahon. Therefore, he could have convinced Rowan by saying that his job depends on taking Roman Reigns out of commission.

One must also remember that Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre have been at odds for many months now and this is a feud that began before WrestleMania. It would certainly make sense for McIntyre to show up on SmackDown Live and in time, aim for the highly prestigious WWE Championship.
I can certainly see him as a future WWE Champion, down the line.
