Drew McIntyre

I went through ups and downs in this business and in life, and when I was released by WWE in 2014, I knew I had a wealth of knowledge and an opportunity.

I was always impressed by the Road Warriors and Legion of Doom. They were just so large and bigger than life in every possible way.

I may look like the stereotypical, prototypical wrestler, but I've always wanted this my whole life.

Wrestling is my life, and if I'm not training or in the gym, then I'm watching videos to learn more about it.

I moved from home in Scotland to home in WWE, and that was the first time being out on my own in my life.

The Shield has been up at the top for so long now, they're just living in their own little world. They're not working for the boys; they're working for each other.

I focus very much on the job and my goals and dreams.

All I want is wrestling to grow while living my dream, and if I can help, then that's beyond my dreams.

When you're by yourself and not with WWE, you are your own business. And I was very successful in that business because of all the lessons I learned.

I built my business, and WWE brought my business in. I want to be successful in my business and, in turn, make WWE successful.

I started wrestling at 15 and signed with world's biggest company by 21 and then had to rebuild myself again.

I know this business better than most people, and I'm extremely passionate about it.
