A Chosen Destiny: My Story

In this thrilling, no-holds barred memoir, Britain’s first ever WWE Champion Drew McIntyre tells the incredible roller coaster story of his life, from a small village in Ayrshire, Scotland to the bright lights of WWE.

A destiny chosen, a destiny squandered, and a champion’s relentless pursuit for redemption.

Growing up in a small village in Ayrshire, Scotland, Drew dreamed of becoming WWE Champion and following in the footsteps of heroes Stone Cold Steve Austin and Undertaker. With his parents’ support, he trained and paid his dues, proving himself to tiny crowds in the Butlin’s circuit. At age twenty-two, McIntyre made his WWE debut and was touted by none other than WWE Chairman Vince McMahon as The Chosen One, who would lead WWE into the future. With his destiny in the palm of his hands, Drew watched it all slip through his fingers.

Through a series of ill-advised choices and family tragedy, Drew’s life and career spiralled. As a surefire champ, he struggled under the pressure of expectations and was fired from the company. But the WWE Universe has not seen the last of this promising athlete. Facing a crossroads, this powerful Scotsman set a course to show the world the real Drew McIntyre.

Buoyed by the support of his wife, Kaitlyn, and the memory of his beloved mother, Drew embarked on a mission to recharge, reinvent and revitalise himself to fulfil his destiny. It is a story of grit, courage and determination as a fallen Superstar discovers who he truly is and storms back to reclaim his dream.
