If you had to pick a former 3MB member to make a WWE return and triumphantly win a World championship (and the Network were not poised to make a killing in the Indian market), Drew McIntyre would've been the smart bet. He's only gotten better since his ignominious release several years ago, and he's excelled everywhere he's been in the interim. He left as a joke, and returned with a hardened edge and with Impact, ICW, Evolve and WCPW World Championships under his, uh, belt.

He's currently busting open faces in weekly Fit Finlay-style brawls with the entire NXT undercard, presumably en route to a championship feud with Bobby Roode. Along with Aleister Black, he probably has the strongest chance of unseating the Glorious One, and it's a short leap from there to main roster success.

Drew has always had the look, size, and ability to make it to the top in WWE, and now he has the mean streak to pull it all together into a stellar World championship run.

Time Until Championship: 3-4 years.
