WWE WrestleMania 36: 10 Most Likely Outcomes

2. Drew McIntyre WON'T Win The WWE Championship

In perhaps this year's most refreshing storyline, Drew McIntyre has finally begun the process of living up to Vince McMahon's decade-old prophecy by climbing that ladder towards a World Championship.

From winning the Royal Rumble to constantly overpowering Brock Lesnar every time they come face-to-face, McIntyre has been built as a real threat to 'The Beast's WWE Championship reign - and it looks like he might just be able to topple the self-proclaimed Conqueror. And had WrestleMania turned out the way the company initially expected it to, 'The Scottish Psychopath' may have done the unthinkable. Unfortunately, he won't.

With the no-crowd Performance Center shows - the shows that spend much of their time replaying PPV matches and garner lower ratings - presumably set to continue after 'Mania, you know rightly that WWE will be doing all they can to keep those ratings as high as possible. And that means keeping the gold on the bigger star... in spite of the fact that he only occasionally shows up.

On top of that, things have been far too one-sided in McIntyre's favour for Lesnar to lose the gold. Now that doesn't necessarily mean that Drew will lose to 'The Beast' clean - that would be a quick way to stall his momentum - but expect some smoke and mirrors here to ensure that Lesnar walks out as the champ.
