TNA Wrestling is currently taping episodes of Impact Wrestling in Glasgow, Scotland, and they brought some surprises with them at today’s taping. Former WWE superstar Drew McIntyre, now going by Drew Galloway (his real name), debuted with TNA today.



After being released from his WWE contract in June 2014, Galloway worked the independent circuit in the United States and Europe. His most noteable work as of late has come for Insane Championship Wrestling, a British group, and EVOLVE, a Pennsylvania promotion partially owned by original Ring of Honor booker Gabe Sapolsky.

At today’s TNA’s Impact Wrestling tapings in Glasgow, Galloway debuted by coming out to save Grado, a fellow ICW wrestler who had just defeated Al Snow in the main event. Grado was being attacked following the match by the Beatdown Club, and Galloway ran in to make the save.

According to a report by PWInsider, Galloway and TNA had been discussing a contract for the last four to five weeks. Drew is set to appear on the rest of TNA’s U.K. tour shows. Some were surprised by the signing given the fact that the current TNA Knockouts Champion, Taryn Terrell, is Galloway’s ex-wife, and the two of them have had a violent past.

Drew Galloway > Taryn Terrell

Interesting. He's definitely a major talent.

I'm glad they've signed him (presuming it's full time and not just for the UK tapings). WWE dropped the ball on him and when he went into the 3MB, he was done there.

Hope TNA use him well, because he has potential...and debuting him in Scotland = smart.
