#2 Early Success
Drew Mcintyre was given the moniker of the "Chosen One" when he first stepped into WWE. The character was the persona of a cocky kid who proclaimed to be the next biggest star after getting the green light from Vince McMahon himself.
In the early weeks of his push, Drew tasted some success as well, as he was one of the Survivors for the Survivor Series elimination match in 2009 alongside the Miz and Sheamus. A few weeks later Drew also defeated John Morrison to win the Intercontinental Title.
Only Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy had won the title at a younger age. It bodes well for Drew though that both of them did go on to become multiple time World Champions in their career.
Based the evidence, it can be seen that Drew did show some signs of greatness ever since he stepped on to the stage.
