Brodus Clay def. Drew McIntyre

ST. LOUIS – The embattled "Chosen One," who has been ostensibly on the verge of termination for weeks, fell victim to the surging Brodus Clay at the 25th anniversary of Royal Rumble in yet another match with his career at stake (PHOTOS). Over the last couple of months, McIntyre has fielded several opportunities from SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long to save his job, but has come up short each time.

At the Rumble, McIntyre - who was not entered into this year's Royal Rumble Match - employed yet another last-ditch effort to salvage his roster spot by asking Mr. Long for another match to prove his worth. The General Manager obliged, setting up a match against a mystery opponent at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view.Enter Brodus Clay, who McIntyre screamed was "a disgrace" as he boogied down to the ring to do battle. 

The Scottish Superstar would eat his words quickly though. Despite mounting an early offensive that pinned Clay into the corner of the ring, McIntyre soon felt the wrath of The Funkasaurus and fell victim to Clay's "What the Funk" crossbody for the three-count. And McIntyre’s woes go on.
