“I wasn’t giving it my all. I wasn’t being honest with myself and looking at my weak areas where I could improve. And obviously, some big personal things happened that pushed me over the edge when it came to the partying and the drinking and the likes, but still, I wasn’t doing anything to try and get better mentally. I, for sure – so that’s the time I honestly looked at myself and said, ‘okay, that’s what you’ve always wanted to do, I can’t imagine working any other job. How are you going to go about showing the world what you’re truly capable of, and that’s being the number one wrestler on the planet?’”
The Scottish Warrior was fired in 2014 and was rehired to WWE in 2017 after proving himself in other companies. He returned to NXT in 2017 and within a year was on the main roster. Drew mentions the moment that changed his life and how Vince McMahon and Paul Heyman helped in their own way.
“I believe the moment it started was, I had a cage match with The Fiend, I believe. He needed an opponent. Whoever he was wrestling that night wasn’t able to wrestle that night. They weren’t cleared. So, Vince has suggested, ‘Hey, throw Drew in there and give him the microphone before the match.’ I believe Paul Heyman was in charge of RAW at the time and made sure the right people were watching when I went out, just to buy time when they were making the cage. And I started just cutting a little promo being myself, messing around with the ladies in the crowd, especially if they’re with guys, and just having a laugh. And I could see people who were leaving turning around and coming back to see what was going on. I was like, ‘Alright, I’ve got their attention. I’ll have a laugh at their expense’.
“I didn’t think much of it, I was just having fun. But the right people saw it and said, ‘Great, we need to put that Drew on TV’. And from there, I’ve just been working hard to build that trust to where we’re at right to where I feel like I could go out kind of do what feels right. Go with my gut. Know my time. Know the story. Know what we’re trying to achieve. Stay within the confines, not going into business for myself, but know what’s right for Drew. Because I am Drew and they know that I know myself and my character now.”
Drew McIntyre has now come become one of the main stays on the main WWE roster. We hope soon rather than later has his WrestleMania moment in front of a crowd.
