Noam Dar described Drew's story as a "fairytale" during the doc, and said his pal would probs roll his eyes upon hearing his words. Even Noam couldn't have known how accurate he was; almost unbelievably, McIntyre envisioned his WrestleMania 36 win over Brock Lesnar win years before it happened.

He'd constantly ask himself what his perfect match would be, and Brock jumped to the front of his mind every time. Specifically, Drew wanted Lesnar at 'Mania, and said he'd picture that moment during workouts to help motivate himself. It became akin to an obsession, albeit one he didn't tell many people (if anyone) about.

McIntyre vividly remembered being backstage at Raw and hearing Ricochet say, 'Oh, that's cool' years later. When he turned round, Drew saw a graphic for his 'Mania 36 match with Brock flash up on the monitor, and he had to sit down for a second to take it all in.

He'd visualised that graphic "so many times" in his head for five years.
