Drew McIntyre is already the 'Next Big Thing'!

Drew McIntyre's story is one of hard work and determination. The 3MB member turned World Champion has come a long way since his failed first stint with WWE. McIntyre completely overhauled his image and became a force to be reckoned with after getting released by the company.

Since rejoining WWE, he has been on an absolute tear, winning the NXT Championship, eliminating a dominant Brock Lesnar en route to winning the Royal Rumble, and dominating The Beast throughout their rivalry.

Thanks to a very rare bit of strong booking by the company, McIntyre has rarely looked weak against any Superstar, including the company favorite, Roman Reigns. If you look back to the Attitude Era, the top Superstars like The Rock, Steve Austin, and Triple H lost rarely, and that's what enhanced their credibility as genuine megastars.

The company seems to be following the same formula with Drew McIntyre. Rarely has a full-time Superstar seemed on the level or even better than Brock Lesnar. He is well-spoken, has stunningly good looks, and gets a reaction like no other. Without exaggeration, Drew McIntyre could be the next The Rock or Steve Austin.
