Drew McIntyre is a Scottish-American professional wrestler. He was born in Ayr, United Kingdom, on 6 June 1985. He made his professional debut in the WWE in 2007 and immediately became one of the biggest names in the company. During his initial years in the WWE, he was known as “The Chosen One” and was also endorsed by WWE Chairman Vince McMahon. However, despite McMahon’s backing, McIntyre was moved down the card.
In 2012, McIntyre was placed in a comedic faction, 3MB, which became the lowest point in his career. In 2014, according to the WWE management, McIntyre failed to connect with the WWE universe, and as a result, he was ultimately released from the company. During his time away from the WWE, he changed his name to Drew Galloway and wrestled in many other wrestling companies. During this time, he also won the TNA World Championship. In 2017, McIntyre returned to the WWE and quickly won the NXT Championship. He officially returned to the main roster in 2018 as a heel with Dolph Ziggler.
After his return, McIntyre quickly became one of the biggest WWE superstars and won the Royal Rumble match in 2020, ultimately leading to his first main event at WrestleMania in 2020 against Brock Lesnar. In 2024, McIntyre engaged in a blood feud with CM Punk, which became one of the biggest and most famous rivalries of the past decade in WWE. As of 2025, he is in a feud against the current WWE Undisputed Champion, Cody Rhodes.
