The emotion etched on Drew McIntyre's face when he won that WWE Title for the very first time at WrestleMania was there for all to see. As cliched as it sounds, a boyhood dream had come true, and Drew heroically spoke of doing his best to entertain people at home during a scary, uncertain and harrowing time.

His reign can't end on Sunday.

Well, it could, but it'd be a damn shame for McIntyre. If Randy Orton punts him in the skull and takes that belt from the Scotsman's grasp, then Drew will make pro wrestling history for all the wrong reasons. He'd become the only champ in WWE lore to play out his entire run without fans.

That'd suck, because Drew deserves better. The live response to his Royal Rumble win this past January was mega, and it's not his fault fans haven't been allowed to cheer one minute of his title run in person. Sadly, WWE might argue that business is business and that there's no room for sentiment.
