Since re-signing with WWE in 2017, Drew McIntyre has taken the company by storm. He has collected the NXT Championship, WWE Raw Tag Team Championship with Dolph Ziggler, and most recently the WWE Championship by defeating Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 36.

Things haven’t looked better for the first British born WWE Champion. However, it wasn’t long ago that he was stuck in a mid-card comedy tag-team act.

When he signed with WWE back in 2007, there were high hopes for McIntyre which led to him eventually being dubbed ‘The Chosen One’. His high point during this run was winning the Intercontinental Championship. However, McIntyre soon fell out of favor and steadily slipped down the card to land in a tag team with Heath Slater and Jinder Mahal called 3MB - Three Man Band. They were glorified jobbers who were also used as ragdolls by the likes of Brock Lesnar and The Shield.
