Drew Mcintyre was at one point known as 'The Chosen One', being handpicked by Vince McMahon in 2009. However, in spite of a few mid-card championship reigns, Mcintyre had a forgettable run with WWE which eventually saw him get released in June 2014.

Mcintyre then made a name for himself on the independent circuit and Impact Wrestling. He dominated TNA and was at the top of TNA for nearly two years. Through sheer determination, Mcintyre re-signed with WWE in 2017 and was offered a contract to compete on NXT. Mcintyre won the NXT Championship from Bobby Roode but eventually lost it to Andrade ''Cien'' Almas. After that, Mcintyre suffered injury and was gone from NXT.

Then on the Superstar Shake-Up in April, Mcintyre returned to the main roster alongside Dolph Ziggler on Raw. Mcintyre and Ziggler dominated Raw together, Mcintyre helped Ziggler win the Intercontinental title from Seth Rollins. Mcintyre also went onto win the Raw tag-team championships from the B-Team in September with Dolph Ziggler.

Mcintyre was a protected commodity throughout 2018 and suffered few losses and in fact, he wasn't pinned even once.
