#3 Drew McIntyre

2009

Drew McIntyre was literally dubbed "The Chosen One" back in 2009 when he first debuted on the main roster. He was presented as Vince McMahon's number one choice and was seen as a future top guy in WWE. He won the Intercontinental Championship soon after debuting on the main roster and went on to have feuds with many top guys.

However, his push ended abruptly and he was made part of jobber stable 3 MB along with Heath Slater and Jinder Mahal — an entertaining role but nothing more than comic relief. A talented wrestler, this was a blatant misuse of his talents; consequently, the Scotsman left WWE in 2014 and chose to pursue a career on the Indies.

He returned to WWE in 2017 as a part of NXT after achieving tons of success on the indie circuit, winning titles in every promotion he was part of and was immediately pushed to the top in NXT.

Drew is just 31 and has several years on the top level left in him. He has the looks, the personality, and the charisma to be the Face of WWE. He defeated Bobby Roode to become the NXT Champion and things are looking bright for Drew Mcintyre.
