15. Drew McIntyre Sings When He's Losing

Drew McIntyre might have thought he was going to win at the inaugural WWE Clash At The Castle Premium Live Event

He was two countries away from where he was born, but it was close enough to Scotland that he might have entertained the thought of a feel-good Universal title win. As much as the actual site of Roman's eventual failure seemed obvious - was it ever happening anywhere other than WrestleMania? - it didn't quite feel that way. In the first sign of a true resurgence, Paul Levesque handled the build brilliantly. The main event of what was also a big stadium show was effectively promoted as the biggest match of McIntyre's career. This was the first masterstroke of Levesque's main roster booker run - and perhaps he needed to deliver a happy ending to allow WWE to further distance itself from Vince McMahon's antagonistic, joyless approach. 

This didn't happen, but WWE did a stellar job of convincing you that it might - particularly since they played an abbreviated version of heavily-requested fan favourite 'Broken Dreams' ahead of Drew's real entrance. At the finish of a super-dramatic and elegantly simple, assured main event, Solo Sikoa, revealing himself as the newest member of the Bloodline, screwed Drew out of the belt. 

It wasn't all bad for Drew McIntyre. He got the chance to stand next to an actual winner, Tyson Fury, and perform karaoke with him. This was a less than ideal reminder of Vince's "babyfaces love to have fun out there" directive - not that Drew looked like he was having much fun at all. 

He sang an Oasis tune, but he looked more in the mood for Sparklehorse.
