When Drew McIntyre made his WWE debut Vince McMahon dubbed him The Chosen One and declared that he was a future world champion.
It took some time for that prediction to come true, but last month at WrestleMania 36 Drew McIntyre defeated Brock Lesnar to become WWE Champion for the first time in his career.
Drew’s title win was a long time coming, and McIntyre recently spoke to Sportskeeda about what the reaction was like when he walked backstage.
“The backstage reaction was non-existent because of the setup there was nobody back there initially. So, it was kind of weird. But you know when I got to Mr. McMahon and Triple H and obviously, we had such minimal personnel there, the people who were there especially, the crew people who have watched me grow up, you know everybody was very happy and very proud. I think for Vince and Hunter themselves, they were just very happy to see that I have finally kind of grown up and realized the potential they had seen in me all those years ago.”

This is my WrestleMania moment. In a Mania unlike any other I couldn’t help but break the “fourth wall” to say thank you. Thank you all for choosing WWE as an escape right now and THANK you for believing in a kid who wouldn’t take no for an answer #WWE #WrestleMania pic.twitter.com/Gu8MubP3zX
