Drew McIntyre is a Scottish professional wrestler best known for his resilience and transformation within the wrestling industry. After an initial underwhelming start in WWE, he revitalized his career on the independent circuit before returning to WWE as a more seasoned and formidable competitor.
Born Andrew McLean Galloway IV on June 6, 1985, in Ayr, Scotland, Drew McIntyre was raised by his parents, Andrew Galloway Sr. and Angela Anne Galloway. As a child, he demonstrated talent in soccer, playing as a defender for several seasons with the Prestwick Boys club. While many expected him to pursue a professional soccer career, McIntyre ultimately chose to follow his passion for wrestling.
He attended Prestwick Academy and later enrolled at Glasgow Caledonian University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in criminology, balancing his education with early wrestling training.
Drew McIntyre began his wrestling journey at the age of 15, training at the Frontier Wrestling Alliance's Academy in the United Kingdom. Early in his career, he made a name for himself on the independent scene, wrestling under the name Drew Galloway, and earning recognition for his intensity and skill.
He signed with WWE in the mid-2000s and initially found success, winning the WWE Intercontinental Championship and the WWE Tag Team Championship with Cody Rhodes. However, his early tenure faced setbacks, and he was eventually released by WWE, prompting a successful run on the independent circuit and with Impact Wrestling (formerly TNA), where he won numerous championships, including the WCPW World Championship.
McIntyre returned to WWE in 2017 with a renewed focus and presence, winning the NXT Championship and later capturing the WWE Championship—becoming the first British WWE Champion. His notable matches include high-profile bouts against Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar, including a standout victory over Lesnar at WrestleMania 36 in 2020. Though he faced a loss to Roman Reigns at WWE Stomping Grounds in June 2019, the match further solidified his status as a main-event performer.
As a top-tier WWE talent and former WWE Champion, Drew McIntyre has achieved both professional accolades and financial success. His estimated net worth reflects his prominence in the wrestling world, bolstered by merchandise sales, main event appearances, and endorsements. McIntyre is widely respected for his perseverance and dedication, attributes that have contributed significantly to his comeback story and fan following.
Outside the ring, Drew McIntyre has experienced a dynamic personal life. He was first married to Taryn Terrell, a professional wrestler, model, and actress. The couple began dating in 2009 and married privately in 2010. Their marriage ended in 2011 due to personal differences. McIntyre has not publicly confirmed any subsequent romantic involvement with fellow wrestler Kelly, and rumors regarding such relationships remain unverified.
In 2016, McIntyre married Kaitlyn Frohnapfel, a former college athlete and medical professional. Frohnapfel graduated from Largo High School and later attended the University of South Florida, where she completed her medical training. Their relationship is largely kept out of the spotlight, with McIntyre occasionally acknowledging her support during interviews.
