However, McIntyre wasn't one to give up and continued his journey working for various other promotions, before returning to NXT. The Scottish Warrior became the NXT Champion and went on to finally return to the main roster in 2018.
Speaking to Stone Cold Steve Austin on the Broken Skull Sessions, the current WWE Champion revealed what his return was like and how Vince McMahon reacted.
"There was nothing said before I actually hit the ring. The first time with Dolph [Ziggler], I was underneath the ring. I came out, the same feeling under the ring, 'oh God, I hope they know what I'm all about'. I came out, I took out Titus O'Neil and Apollo and sided with Dolph and it started a 'McIntyre' chant. I was like 'oh, thank God they know'. I got backstage to Gorilla and gave Vince a hug and he said 'welcome home'. And it was later on that we started having conversations."
Drew McIntyre recently defeated The Miz and AJ Styles in a TLC match for the WWE Championship at the TLC PPV.
