Galloway began his career in 2001 in United Kingdom. He signed a development contract with WWE in 2007, when he was sent to Ohio Valley Wrestling and Florida Championship Wrestling. Under the character The Chosen One, he worked on SmackDown on 2009, winning the WWE Intercontinental Championship and the WWE Tag Team Championship. During the following years, he worked as a low card wrestler, being part of the stable 3MB. In 2014 he was released from his contract.
Between 2014 and 2017, he worked once again as Drew Galloway on several promotions across the world, particularly Insane Championship Wrestling (ICW) in Scotland and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). In TNA, he was a one-time TNA World Heavyweight Champion and one-time Impact Grand Champion and Evolve, where he was one-time Evolve Champion, one-time Open the Freedom Gate Champion and two-time Evolve Tag Team Champion. In 2018, he was inducted into ICW's Hall of Fame.
In 2017, he would return as McIntyre to WWE, being assigned to NXT and winning the NXT Championship. Upon returning to WWE's main roster in 2018, he won the Raw Tag Team Championship (alongside Dolph Ziggler), the 2020 Men's Royal Rumble match, two WWE Championships (the first coming in the main event of WrestleMania 36 Night 2), and the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XL Night 2. He is the first and only British world champion in WWE history and the 31st Triple Crown champion.
