Drew Galloway (born June 6, 1985)[1] is a Scottish professional wrestler currently signed with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) on its SmackDown brand as Drew McIntyre, where he is the current Intercontinental Champion.
He began training from the age of 15 in England, before moving back to Scotland to begin his career. Before long he became a regular in British Championship Wrestling (BCW) using the gimmick "Thee" Drew Galloway, winning their Heavyweight Championship twice along with the Heavyweight Championship of Insane Championship Wrestling. He also found success abroad in Irish Whip Wrestling, winning their top title. During this time he completed an undergraduate degree in criminology.
After touring the independent circuit around the British Isles, Galloway moved to the United States in 2007 to wrestle with Ohio Valley Wrestling and then Florida Championship Wrestling, where he won their Heavyweight and Tag Team Championships before making his television debut on WWE's SmackDown and quickly winning the Intercontinental Championship
