Even though McIntyre was written off by most when he was made part of the jobber faction 3MB in 2012 and later released in 2014, McIntyre proved he is not one to take things sitting down.

Instead of cribbing about not being treated correctly, Drew McIntyre started making a name for himself on the independent circuit, performing for promotions such as Evolve and Impact Wrestling.
He returned to WWE as part of the developmental brand NXT in 2017 and quickly made a mark for himself there, even winning the NXT Championship.
He joined the main roster on RAW in April 2018 being paired with Dolph Ziggler. The Scottish Terminator has become a force to be reckoned with and continued to impress everyone with his improved charisma and in-ring skills.
