It's hard to believe that McIntyre is the same performer who was fired by WWE back in 2014 after failing to make much of an impact as a member of 3MB. The Scottish star was released at the same time as Jinder Mahal as part of the main budget cuts that year.
McIntyre saw his release as a wake-up call and went on to become a success on the Independent circuit, so much so that WWE came calling in 2017 and he was rehired and sent down to NXT.
Over the past few years, McIntyre has dominated NXT and is a former NXT Champion. After making his way to the main roster, he is now a former Intercontinental Champion and two-time World Champion.
