One of the most surprising releases in quite a few years, Drew McIntyre (real name, Drew Galloway) was one not many fans saw coming in 2014. Sure, he was part of an under-card stable, 3MB, with Heath Ledger and Jinder Mahal, but this was somebody who - just a few years earlier - Vince McMahon had dubbed his 'Chosen One'. The proverbial started to hit the fan following some personal problems with his now ex-wife Taryn Terrell, and WWE never quite used him the same after the pair had a domestic dispute in 2010, one which hit TMZ and other celebrity press outlets. Pretty much everybody thought the company were just biding their time with Galloway, who has all the physical tools necessary to be a smash hit in WWE. Since his release, Galloway hasn't stood still, tearing it up across the world. The man is currently the reigning Evolve Wrestling Champion and ICW Heavyweight Champion, a company in Scotland with which he gained his initial fame. One of Galloway's idols, Bret Hart, recently stated during an interview his disbelief at WWE releasing him, saying he's "one of the best" WWE had under contract. Surely it's only a matter of time before the big Scot is back in WWE? Galloway hasn't hid the fact he'd like to someday return.
