WWE Royal Rumble 2011 Roster: Where Are They Now?

8. Drew McIntyre

Then: Former "Chosen One" Drew McIntyre looked a million miles away from the top of the card when he sprinted out with a grimace at the 2011 Rumble. Four minutes later, the Scotsman was dumped out on his arse by Big Show, and must've wondered where his career was going.

Now: After being scrapped by WWE in 2014, McIntyre embarked on a personal journey to find himself again. By the time he returned in 2017, he was a new man and ready to boot some balls. The comparisons between that 2011 run and his 2020 Rumble win are stunning.

Drew is the current WWE Champion, and deservedly so. He's worked incredibly hard to get here.
