McIntyre recalled the WWE Chairman telling him back in 2009 that he would be a future World Champion in the company and then joked that there wasn't a time limit on that statement.
Drew says Vince McMahon told him years ago he'd be a future World Champion in WWE and joked there wasn't a time limit on that comment. #WWEBackstage
McIntyre was introduced as 'The Chosen One' on SmackDown back in 2009 by none other than Vince McMahon. The boss cut a promo hyping up McIntyre's arrival, and then introduced him to the WWE Universe. It seemed like there were big plans ahead for McIntyre, but things took an unexpected turn soon, and he was relegated to WWE's mid-card. The situation only worsened as time passed, and McIntyre was paired with Jinder Mahal and Heath Slater to form a lower-card stable named 3MB. The trio mostly worked as enhancement talent for a long time, before McIntyre and WWE parted ways in 2014.
McIntyre improved himself in other promotions for years, before making his way back to WWE in 2017. He will be challenging the WWE Champion at WrestleMania 36 on April 5, 2020.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
