Andrew McLean "Drew" Galloway IV (born 6 June 1985) is a Scottish professional wrestler currently signed with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), where he is a one-time TNA World Heavyweight Champion and a former Impact Grand Champion. Galloway is perhaps best known for his tenure with WWE, where he performed under the ring name Drew McIntyre. He has also worked extensively with many independent wrestling promotions, including Insane Championship Wrestling, Evolve Wrestling, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, and WhatCulture Pro Wrestling (WCPW), for whom he is the current WCPW World Champion in his first reign.
While with WWE, he held their Intercontinental and WWE Tag Team Championship once each, as well as winning the FCW Florida Heavyweight Championship and FCW Florida Tag Team Championship on two occasions for their (pre-NXT) developmental brand Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW). Outside of WWE, he has held numerous other titles both on the independent circuit and internationally. He is a multi-time world champion, having held the TNA World Heavyweight Championship once and the ICW World Heavyweight Championship twice. Galloway also held the Evolve Championship, DGUSA Open the Freedom Gate Championship and the Evolve Tag Team Championship with Johnny Gargano. Under Galloway, both the ICW and Evolve Championships were renamed world championships due to numerous international defenses as champion.
