Drew McIntyre was once a huge part of WWE's programming. He was declared to be the chosen one by Vince McMahon. In the first years of his run with the company, he achieved small victories but never really gained the recognition needed to be seen as a huge star.

WWE relegated him into a jobbers group, 3MB, and before long he was gone from the company on the indie scene.

McIntyre did not waste any time, he took booking after booking in the indie scene and worked on his own physique in the meantime as well. He was soon one of the most in-demand stars on the independent scene.

He was so good that WWE called him back to their roster when they brought him back, to NXT, and he won the NXT title and ruled the developmental territory.

Since coming up to Raw with Dolph Ziggler he's looked even more impressive.
