Andrew McLean Galloway IV (Scottish Gaelic: Anndra MacGill-Eain Gall-Ghàidhealaibh IV; born 6 June 1985) is a Scottish professional wrestler. He is currently signed to WWE, where he performs on the Raw brand under the ring name Drew McIntyre.
Galloway began his career in 2001 in the United Kingdom with Scottish promotions British Championship Wrestling (BCW) and Insane Championship Wrestling (ICW), and also performed in Ireland with Irish Whip Wrestling (IWW), all under his real name Drew Galloway. He signed a development contract with WWE in 2007, and took on the ring name Drew McIntyre, and was sent to its developmental territories Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) and Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) after one match on SmackDown! and RAW each. Using the moniker "The Chosen One", he returned to SmackDown in 2009 (two years since his first appearance on said brand), winning the WWE Intercontinental Championship, and the WWE Tag Team Championship alongside "Dashing" Cody Rhodes. He would then be relegated to lower-card status until 2014, when he asked for and was granted his release from his WWE contract citing creative frustrations.
Between 2014 and 2017, he worked once again under his real name on several independent promotions across the world, as well as returning to ICW, where he became a two-time ICW World Heavyweight Champion, and was inducted into the ICW Hall of Fame in 2018. He made his debut for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) in 2015, and went on to become a one-time TNA World Heavyweight Champion and a one-time Impact Grand Champion. He also performed in Evolve, where he was a one-time Evolve Champion and a two-time Evolve Tag Team Champion. He was also a one-time Open the Freedom Gate Champion due to Evolve's partnership with Dragon Gate USA.
Galloway returned to WWE in 2017, once again as Drew McIntyre, and was assigned to NXT where he won the NXT Championship once. Upon returning to WWE's main roster in 2018, he won the Raw Tag Team Championship alongside Dolph Ziggler, the 2020 Men's Royal Rumble match, the 2024 Men's Money in the Bank ladder match, two WWE Championships (the first coming in the main event of WrestleMania 36 Night 2), and the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XL Night 2. He is the first British and only Scottish world champion in WWE history and the 31st Triple Crown champion.[3]
