ESPN has announced that Drew McIntyre (Drew Galloway) has signed full time with NXT. At NXT Takeover: Orlando, Drew McIntyre was shown in the audience moments before the main event.

McIntyre was interviewed by ESPN and had this to say:

“Well, the answer’s pretty simple. I’ve won championships all across the world. I’ve helped build brands. So what’s the next logical thing for me to do? It’s to come here and win the NXT title. If that’s not clear enough for everybody, Drew McIntyre has signed with NXT.”

Drew McIntyre has been away from WWE for around three years. He was last used as a member of the faction 3MB. He was a former Intercontinental & Tag Team Champion. In his absence from McMahon’s Empire, McIntyre won the EVOLVE Championship, TNA Championship & many others across the world.

Once known as “The Chosen One” by Vince McMahon, McIntyre returns to WWE to become just that.
