#5 Drew McIntyre

There were a lot of expectations riding on this prodigious talent, and he did not disappoint in the initial phase of his career. Called the “Chosen One” by Mr. McMahon himself, Drew McIntyre created waves in the business during his short stay.

Debuting as a heel in 2009, he quickly became the Intercontinental Champion after defeating John Morrison for the title at the TLC PPV. His reign lasted for 161 days, and he constantly feuded with face characters like Morrison and Matt Hardy until he was stripped off his title and fired from the show (in a storyline angle) by Teddy Long.
