#5 Drew McIntyre
Ever since he was released from WWE in 2014, Drew McIntyre proved himself in the Independent circuit where he became a matured wrestler as he improved both his in-ring and mic skills. He earned a recall from WWE and was re-signed by the promotion's developmental territory NXT.
In NXT, McIntyre impressed everyone before winning the NXT championship by beating Bobby Roode. Unfortunately, he injured his biceps and had to drop the title to Andrade Cien Almas. McIntyre recovered and made his return to the main roster where he is on Monday Night Raw along with Dolph Ziggler.
The ongoing feud between Dolph Ziggler/Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins is a proof that Drew has well and truly arrived at the big stage and it is just a matter of time before he wins the World Championship.
