10 superstars who deserve to be WWE Universal Champion more than Brock Lesnar

#6. Drew McIntyre

The so-called Chosen One had a great start to his WWE career when Vince McMahon himself introduced him upon his debut as a future world champion. Would you like to know how many times Vince has said this about talent? Only once.

However, McIntyre stumbled a bit out of the gate. While he wasn't bad in the ring, he was obviously still green and needed seasoning. He ended up bundled into the comedy trio 3MB, and basically became a clone of Heath Slater.

After months of air guitaring and losing matches, Drew was released by WWE. At this point, he could have been bitter and complained on social media, following the example set by Ryback and CM Punk.

However, Drew instead re-dedicated himself to his craft. He joined the indie circuit to not only build up a reputation but to refine his skills. Once he polished both skills and character, he joined TNA/Impact for a brief time before making his triumphant return to WWE.

McIntyre wasn't ready years ago when he first joined WWE to be world champion, but he is now.
