It is very rare to see a wrestler come back to WWE after being released by them. If this happens, then it means that the wrestler in question has proven their worth in other wrestling promotions.

In an interview with Bleacher Report, McIntyre disclosed that after his break away from WWE he shaped himself after the face of the company, John Cena.
“I always talk about John Cena as someone I patterned myself after, after I was released rather than learning from him in the moment when I was there on the roster,” McIntyre said. “Instead of working to better myself on the roster, it took getting fired and bettering myself personally before I thought of who I could look up to in this business and whose mentality I needed. I thought about John and how relentless he was with everything he did: be it in media, the gym, in the ring and every aspect of his life.”

I’m that guy now, there’s no excuse, I want every little bit of it.”
