The Chosen One: 5 Things you didn't know about WWE Champion Drew McIntyre 

#1. McIntyre had no idea Vince McMahon was going to call him The Chosen One

It's one of the most memorable moments of his career, but Drew McIntyre recently revealed that he had no idea that Vince McMahon was going to go out and endorse him on SmackDown back in 2009.

While appearing on After The Bell last year, McIntyre revealed that he was stood in Gorilla and had no idea that this was the promo that The Chairman was going to deliver.

“The Chosen One thing started when I was 23 or 24 when Vince [McMahon] endorsed me on television. That’s not something that I knew was going to happen. I was just in Gorilla [Position] and I was aware I had a promo and they told me Vince was gonna say ‘a quick thing’ and I’ll just go out and react. I was like, ‘Okay.'”

“Then he went out there on television and he put me over as a future World Champion as I say he didn’t say when it is over ten years later. When it happens, it could be true when it happens he was right like he always is.”

“Yeah, I didn’t know it was going to happen and it was a huge moment for me that everyone always asks ‘It put a lot of pressure on you, would you change anything?’ I say absolutely not. Everything that’s happened has happened for a reason taking me on this journey I was on and obviously things didn’t work out with the Chosen One thing and then the 3MB thing happened and obviously I got fired.”
