3 WWE Superstars Triple H expected to fail and 3 he tipped to succeed

#1 Triple H tipped Drew McIntyre to succeed

While Vince McMahon was the person who dubbed Drew McIntyre “The Chosen One” during his first spell with WWE, the Scot revealed in an interview with the Orlando Sentinel in January 2019 that it was Triple H who showed belief in him ahead of his 2017 return to the company.

“Triple H convinced me it was time to come home. I’m proud of the different man I became during my time away. I came back as the grown-up version of myself.”

McIntyre won the NXT Championship within four months of debuting on Triple H’s NXT brand in April 2017. He then went on to rejoin WWE’s main roster in April 2018, which prompted him to set his sights on becoming the first WWE World Heavyweight Champion from Britain.

“Now all I need to do is become the first British Heavyweight Champion. I’m not shy to say that’s the goal. If it isn’t, why are you even here?”

Three years after joining Triple H’s NXT and two years after returning to the main roster, McIntyre’s ambitious goal came to fruition when he defeated Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 36 to win the WWE Championship.
