The Undertaker was Drew McIntyre's mentor throughout his early years in WWE which allowed him to learn a lot about the business from The Deadman. An interesting relationship was later developed between the two men and McIntyre revealed that Shawn Michaels actually told him that he was set to wrestle Undertaker at the biggest show of the year.

Instead, it was Shawn Michaels who wrestled The Deadman, and McIntyre himself admitted that the match wouldn't have been what he had hoped if it had been given away that early in his career.

Drew Mcintyre was slotted into the Money in the Bank ladder match at WrestleMania 26 despite being the Intercontinental Champion at the time. McIntyre revealed on the Broken Skull Sessions that he was initially scheduled to win the match but WWE thought that it was too predictable.

In the end, it was Jack Swagger who lifted the Money in the Bank contract but now a decade on, McIntyre has gone on to become a two-time WWE Champion and still hasn't won the Money in the Bank contract.
