The current WhatCulture Pro Wrestling Champion, Drew Galloway's history with WWE is well documented. The Scotsman debuted on Smackdown in 2009 and was immediately given a huge push based on his look and size, but he was in over his head. Before long, he was exposed as not ready and he fell to the bottom of the card. He then improved tremendously, but it was too late, and he was fired in 2014.

Since then, he's been one of the top stars on the independent scene, with runs in TNA and EVOLVE that have seen him make the most of his talent. Given that he's done so much in the past two years - and that he's still only 31 - he's obviously on WWE's radar.

According to reports, his TNA contract is up in February, and Ring of Honor has interest in him. While he could continue to make a good living on the indies, there's no reason why he couldn't mount a successful comeback to WWE this year.
