Drew McIntyre started with WWE way back in 2007. Being called 'The Chosen One' and projected as Vince McMahon's next big star, the future looked bright for the kid. But, as time passed his brightness kept on diminishing and he was finally released by the WWE after a run as a jobber in the 3MB stable.

But, the bane soon turned out to be a boon for McIntyre as he had one hell of a time in the independent circuit where he improved himself dramatically and became one of the hottest free agents in the pro wrestling industry. WWE soon took notice and came calling again.

Since then, Drew hasn't looked back and has continued to grow as a performer both in the ring and on the mic. His hard work was soon rewarded with an NXT championship run, which abruptly came to an end due to an untimely injury.

On the plus side, if anything Drew has learned in the last couple of years, it is how to get back up when knocked down. Don't be surprised to see him compete for championship gold against WWE's current golden boy Roman Reigns in the very near future.
