It won’t be quite the same. The Royal Rumble has come and gone and a few wrestlers made surprise appearances in the show’s namesake matches. These moves have allowed the company to have some new options on the Road To WrestleMania, as there are now some more wrestlers available for bigger matches. That includes one of the bigger names in WWE, who is back ahead of schedule.

Drew McIntyre made a surprise return to action in the men’s Royal Rumble, lasting all the way until the end before being eliminated last by Brock Lesnar. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, McIntyre was hidden from the rest of the roster to make his return as big of a surprise as possible. McIntyre is expected to continue his feud with Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss but will only be appearing on television. He will not be making live event appearances in an effort to allow his neck to heal and rehab as much as possible.

Opinion: It’s great to hear that McIntyre is back in the ring as he is one of the bigger stars in all of WWE. I’m not sure how interesting a feud with Moss and Corbin is going to be, but maybe they can wrap that up in a hurry so McIntyre can move on to something else down the line. It will be nice to see McIntyre getting a big match on the huge stage and now we might be getting ready to see it happen.

What do you think of McIntyre’s return? What should he do at WrestleMania? Let us know in the comments below.
