#1 - Drew McIntyre
Drew McIntyre is the best example of how hard work can pay off. Once called 'The Chosen One' by Vince McMahon himself, McIntyre was released from WWE in 2014. McIntyre decided to hone his skills on the independent scene with promotions such as ICW, WCPW, Impact Wrestling and Evolve. Within weeks of his independent wrestling run, you could tell this man was hungry and out to show the world that he was one of the best.
Returning to NXT in April 2017, he instantly showed why he was brought back after three years by defeating Bobby Roode for the NXT Championship at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn III just four months after his NXT debut. Losing the championship in November to Andre Cien Almas at NXT Takeover: War Games, McIntyre revealed he tore his bicep towards the end of the match and would require surgery. Estimated to return back in May, if McIntyre could be healthy enough in time, he could be a major addition to the show he debuted on years ago - Smackdown Live - and add another main event level calibre superstar to the roster.
