10 Wrestlers Ready To Become NXT's Top Stars
1. Drew McIntyre
You don't get nicknamed "The Chosen One" by Vince McMahon accidentally. To get such a moniker, one must stand out from the rest and at 6'5" tall with a more than solid in-ring skill set, McIntyre did just that in his first run with WWE.
Unfortunately for Drew, he broke his wrist in 2012 prior to being saddled with the lame 3MB bit, and was unable to wrestle for an extended period. Rumors of backstage heat also didn't help, and McIntyre was released in 2014. Many within the industry were shocked to hear the news, given Drew's previous golden-boy status.
McIntyre left WWE but worked dates on the independents, as well as a stint in TNA in which he won the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. He impressed everywhere he went and, like others before him, earned another shot with WWE.
Drew returned to WWE television at NXT Takeover: Orlando when he appeared in the crowd. With Drew's experience, plus the lack of top-level depth in the NXT roster right now, McIntyre should quickly be featured into the yellow brand's main event scene and could challenge NXT Champion Bobby Roode for the title by SummerSlam weekend.
