Drew McIntyre had an abrupt and disappointing end to his WWE career in 2014. There was a point of time early in his WWE career where he was introduced by Vince McMahon, who declared that this man would be a future world champion. Things seemed promising at the start but it didn’t take long for management to fall out of favor with him.
Eventually, he went from “The Chosen One” to the one who never appeared on television. Even legends like Bret Hart were critical of WWE’s underutilization of McIntyre. As we know, he had been released in mid-2014. McIntyre, not being the kind to sit and feel sorry for himself, immediately embarked on a wrestling odyssey that took him around the world, honing his craft and winning championship after championship.
He wound up becoming one of the hottest stars in all of wrestling and even had a solid run with TNA, where he wound up becoming World Champion. Everywhere he went, he proved to be a top-caliber superstar, racking up a lot of accomplishments and titles along the way.
His journey would lead him back to WWE in 2017, but his time as Drew Galloway cannot be ignored. It was a defining period of him as a performer and his self-belief and determination saw him face the best superstars outside of the WWE. We take a look at his 5 best matches during his time as Drew Galloway.
