| 1 | * BreakupBreakout: From 3MB. Didn't seem like it at first, but after coming back to WWE he won the NXT title, won the Royal Rumble and won multiple World Titles. Wrestling/HeathSlater only got one tag title reign before getting released, while Wrestling/JinderMahal got a World title reign but went back to jobber status soon after losing it |
| 2 | * CareerResurrection: After four years as a jobber on national television, working at some World Wrestling Network shows turned out to be pretty good for him. |
| 3 | * RealLifeWritesThePlot: The work visa issue that Wrestling/TeddyLong fired and deported him for for a week in 2010 was actually a real thing, except obviously they did the segment before it had actually expired. |
| 4 | * RealitySubtext: His FatalFlaw of overconfidence in his initial run. His initial push as Wrestling/VinceMcMahon's "Chosen One" was said to have gotten to his head behind the scenes, as confirmed by Drew himself. [[CharacterDevelopment Being released from the company completely drummed this aspect out of him]] both in kayfabe and in real life, giving him a new violent philosophy that has completely eschewed this idea, informing his character as both a face (in which he's happy to be where he's at but wants to make things better there and will tear apart whatever malcontent or entitled person's shenanigans stand in the way) and a heel (in which he's either desperate to maintain a top spot that he's held knowing he could lose it at any time or he thinks everyone around him is weak and complacent like he was before and it sickens him). |
| 5 | * RomanceOnTheSet: Got married to [[Wrestling/TarynTerrell Taryn "Tiffany" Terrell]] while they were both in WWE. |
| 6 | * ThrowItIn: Apparently [[FinishingMove the Claymore]] came from a botched attempt at a Big Boot during his Wrestling/ThreeMB days. He came in off-balance while performing the move in tight leather pants and ended up laying out by accident. When he saw the botch played back, he thought it looked cool and decided to keep it. |
| 7 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
| 8 | ** Drew [=McIntyre=] and Tiffany never became an on-screen romance. Creative might've had this in mind, though, as it's been rumored that we saw a storyline they were supposed to have together play out on Smackdown—between Drew and Tiffany's former Blondetourage teammate Wrestling/KellyKelly. |
| 9 | ** The Drew/Kelly storyline itself was subject to sudden AbortedArc, between Kelly's rejections, his "back-to-basics" response in the end, and his falling down to {{jobber}} status in the aftermath. |
| 10 | ** Wrestling/JohnnyGargano and Rich Swann were almost the official first tag team champions of EVOLVE. Galloway ended up in Swann's place literally because EVOLVE didn't do so before WWE offered Swann a deal. |
