It was the first Rumble victory for McIntyre, and he emerged as the major star of the show when all is said and done just as WWE had planned it. There have been numerous Rumbles in the past where the winner didn’t go over well with the live audience, but that was absolutely not the case with McIntyre’s victory in 2020.
McIntyre emerged as the man who eliminated Brock Lesnar after Lesnar eliminated man after man throught the first half of the match. While some fans complained about the numerous eliminations by Lesnar, it served to ultimately make McIntyre a bigger star by having him be the man to take out The Beast.
In the end, WWE painted a great picture and fans seemed to be very happy with the result.
Fantastic Match
Just a fantastic Rumble match on a lot of levels. “Who booked this shit” was never a bigger compliment. Really great stuff. #RoyalRumble
