• Breakup Breakout: Inifitally, it seemed that Heath Slater would be this, with both Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal being released from the WWE in 2014. Both of the latter, however, worked their butts off in the indies during that time. Jinder got in shape, got resigned sooner than Drew and, after jobbing for a bit, got a push that saw him defeat Randy Orton for the WWE Championship. Drew, meanwhile, became an indie darling, resulting in him being signed as a major acquisition for NXT, where he won the NXT Championship and years later, won the Royal Rumble in 2020 and, later on, the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 36 (by defeating BROCK LESNAR!) and would regain it after briefly losing the title in October of the same year (incidentally to Orton), becoming a two-time WWE World Champion in just one year.
