As per the norm with Goldberg matches, Da Man challenging for Drew McIntyre's WWE Championship at the 2021 Royal Rumble was a swift, frenetic affair. To be precise, the bout itself was all of two-and-a-half minutes.

For a Goldberg outing, it was fine. Nothing more, nothing less. And hey, at least it was quick.

Much like the rest of his first two reigns as a WWE World Champion, this was unfortunately yet another big match for Drew McIntyre that played out under the 'unique' setting of the Thunderdome. Still, at least the Thunderdome set-up was a minor upgrade on the complete silence the Scottish Warrior experienced during his WrestleMania 36 victory over Brock Lesnar.
