#5 Drew McIntyre makes light work of Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble
It isn't exactly a secret that Drew McIntyre has gone through a lot to reach the spot he's currently at. He was introduced as The Chosen One back in 2009, but the run soon turned into a nightmare for him and he became an enhancement talent in a matter of years. McIntyre made his big comeback to WWE in 2017 after improving himself in other promotions.
Fans had to wait for a while before WWE gave McIntyre his much-deserved monster push. It all began in the 2020 Royal Rumble match. After Brock Lesnar ran roughshod over a bunch of WWE Superstars, McIntyre came in and it took him mere seconds to eliminate Lesnar, albeit with a bit of help from Ricochet.
The fans collectively cheered for the spot and made it clear that they wouldn't mind seeing McIntyre win the free-for-all. After the dominant showing Lesnar had in the match, it was certainly a big surprise to see him get eliminated by McIntyre in a matter of seconds.
