This is one transformation that has been done to death, yet one that WWE fans never tire of discussing. That is the testament to the spectacular evolution of Drew McIntyre.

Back in 2007, when the Scottish Psychopath debuted, there was only one way to describe his character: An Entitled Prick. He oozed "Vince McMahon's Boy" from every angle. It may have had something to do with the fact that Vince McMahon openly handpicked him and said he'd be a future champion, thereby acquiring the nickname 'The Chosen One'.

What followed was a few years of WWE trying to build him up slowly, but McIntyre failing to click with the crowd. He was ultimately put into the 3MB, which was the beginning of the end, as he was squashed every single week before being let go. He doesn't regret it though, as he views it as a part of his essential journey to where he is now:

Drew McIntyre's successful transformation has been there for everyone to see. The advent of social media has enabled fans to follow his journey in the Indie scene. From being someone shoved down their throats, Drew McIntyre changed to someone who had hit rock bottom and vowed to turn his life around.

It took 13 years, but Vince McMahon's prediction came true. The prodigal son returned to WWE and claimed the Championship he was destined for.

This is my WrestleMania moment. In a Mania unlike any other I couldn’t help but break the “fourth wall” to say thank you. Thank you all for choosing WWE as an escape right now and THANK you for believing in a kid who wouldn’t take no for an answer #WWE #WrestleMania pic.twitter.com/Gu8MubP3zX

Today, no one would link the initial grumbling Drew McIntyre to the built, wrecking machine that we now witness.
