Mini bio
How it started.
Drew grew up in Ayrshire, Scotland, dreaming of wrestling like Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker. He began training at 15, worked the UK circuit and reached WWE in 2007. Fans first knew him as “The Chosen One,” a young wrestler carrying big expectations.
Building his way back.
His first WWE run ended in 2014. Wrestling as Drew Galloway, he rebuilt his reputation with promotions including EVOLVE and Scotland’s Insane Championship Wrestling. In his 2017 WWE interview, he described bringing fans along through social media as he developed a new image. He returned to WWE through NXT that year.
The breakthrough.
Winning the 2020 men’s Royal Rumble opened the door to WrestleMania 36, where Drew defeated Brock Lesnar for his first WWE Championship. His later rivalry with CM Punk culminated in a Hell in a Cell Match at Bad Blood in 2024.
Beyond the ring.
His 2021 memoir, A Chosen Destiny: My Story, tells the story of that rise, setback and return. Acting has become another part of his work: he appeared in The Killer’s Game and joined the ReelShort series Agent of Shadows in 2026. He also serves as a Special Olympics Global Ambassador.
