6 Ups & 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE Backstage (Feb 4)
3. Can Drew Draw?
"Why now?" was perhaps the most poignant question to kick off a quality section of the show with Royal Rumble winner and WrestleMania Number One contender Drew McIntyre.
He's a performer with an extremely complex and contemporary WWE history, having tried and failed to break through during the wretched John Laurinaitis talent development era before finding new problems on the main roster following an enjoyable NXT scenic route.
Here, as he's been on television over the last month or so, was all the evidence as to precisely why now more than all those other times he's actually been given a real chance. Joking that he was a "reformed psychopath" before opening up on his numerous highs and lows, McIntyre was affable but assured about his deserved time in the biggest spotlight.
The destination might be overstated compared to the journey, but Drew's travelled long enough to reach the 'Show Of Shows' headline spot. No longer a 'Chosen One', he's very clearly earned this.
