Drew McIntyre successfully retained his WWE Championship on Sunday against Goldberg, taking down the WWE Hall of Famer with a thunderous Claymore Kick at the Royal Rumble. Prior to the match starting McIntyre hit a Glasgow Kiss and a Claymore, but Goldberg retaliated with a Spear through the ringside barricade. McIntyre, selling a rib injury throughout the rest of the match, withstood three Spears and a Jackhammer before putting the WCW icon away with his finisher. The two shook hands and embraced following the match

The rivalry between the two kicked off at Monday Night Raw’s “Legends Night,” when Goldberg questioned how much respect McIntyre had for the legends of the past. Leading into the match, McIntyre addressed some of the fans backlash Goldberg was receiving for coming back to television and instantly getting another world championship match.
