This is pretty ironic when you consider Drew's current nickname is "The Scottish Psychopath".

A former WWE employee who was let go in 2014, McIntyre took to the independent circuit and worked himself to the bone, appearing for promotions all over the world and completely changing up his look, persona, and style.

McIntyre made his triumphant return to WWE as part of NXT, where he would capture the brand's top title in 2017. Since being called up to the main roster, he's been a Raw Tag Team Champion and competed in high-profile matches featuring Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and The Undertaker.

As a younger psychopath, McIntyre showed an interest in soccer (or football for literally everybody else who isn't American) before eventually focusing on a wrestling career. He also took interest in the world of conspiracy theories, even going as far as to write to the FBI and ask for some files under the Freedom of Information Act.

This interest in the dark and unknown may have been responsible for McIntyre's later academic choices. He studied Criminology at Glasgow Caledonian University, obtaining a Master's degree in the subject in 2011.

McIntyre's dedication to his studies reflects his incredible work ethic and drive to succeed. Just a shame he can't get booked right.
