On the pre-taped Christmas Eve edition of Monday Night Raw, Drew McIntyre announced himself as entering the upcoming Royal Rumble. WWE, seemingly intimidated, took the big man's word as gospel, and officially announced the long Scot as the match's second official entrant on Christmas Day.
It would have been more newsworthy had McIntyre, one of the favourites to win the whole thing, had not been participating. The worry for Drew is that that 'favourites' tag might cause a company rethink.
