Drew McIntyre Shown Sitting Ringside During NXT TakeOver, Confirms New WWE Deal (VIDEO)

It’s been a long time since “The Chosen One” has been seen in WWE, but that changed at NXT TakeOver: Orlando when Drew McIntyre was shown on camera sitting ringside.

McIntyre — who had been using the name Drew Galloway in his time since leaving WWE — was seen smirking in the crowd as the announcers pointed out that he was in attendance.

Drew had been scheduled to wrestle tonight at the Evolve vs. Progress event, but he was attacked by Keith Lee at the top of the show during a promo and announcers said he’d be unable to wrestle later.

McIntyre was the first to leave Impact Wrestling before the large exodus of talent began — and it was partly because they lagged on offering him a new deal.

McIntyre told ESPN, “If that’s not clear enough for everybody, Drew McIntyre has signed with NXT.”

Drew Galloway Leaving TNA Impact Wrestling

Drew Galloway confirmed that he is parting ways with TNA Impact Wrestling on Sunday night.

According to PWInsider, Galloway informed TNA of his decision to leave the company on Sunday evening. It was noted that while Galloway and TNA had talks about signing a new deal, the company had not attempted to get it finalized until the past two weeks, which led to Galloway opting to pursue other opportunities.

As part of the new deal, Galloway was promised that he would have been one of the top stars in the promotion. During a recent appearance on The Pancakes and Powerslams Show in January, Galloway said that he hoped that he would be able to come to terms on a new deal with TNA.

“I really hope things work out the way I want them to work out… we just have to figure things out,” Galloway said last month. “There’s obviously people reaching out, but I’m just hoping things work out the way that I hope they work out because I’m having such a good ride right now.”

Galloway debuted in TNA in January of 2015. In addition to having held the TNA World Heavyweight Championship during his two-year run, Galloway is currently recognized as the Impact Grand Champion.

Drew Galloway revealed last week that he was injured and would be out of action for a few weeks. Galloway was scheduled to face Aron Rex for the tournament finals at Bound For Glory this Sunday to crown the first-ever TNA Grand Champion. TNA had been advertising Galloway for Sunday’s pay-per-view, but announced today that Galloway has not been cleared for the show following a scheduled doctor’s visit this morning.

“I’m upset. Clearly. This sucks,” Galloway told ImpactWrestling.com “I love nothing more than wrestling and this is a match that will make history. The fact that it was against Aron Rex made it even sweeter. I’ll be watching this match closely from the Impact Zone. Aron Rex got lucky. No one can keep me from being there on Sunday.”

It was noted that there is no timetable for Galloway’s return, and an announcement will be made on Sunday for an opponent for Aron Rex.

Drew Galloway gives the fans a voice 

This past Friday on Impact Wrestling Drew Galloway cut an epic promo and when I say epic I mean epic. What’s great about this promo was you could tell that it was 100% real, something WWE should take note of. I’ve always found it more intriguing when talent is allowed cut a promo off the fly.

Now I know what you guys may be thinking. “It’s to fit the storyline that’s why he said what he said in his promo”. While that may be true it doesn’t make this promo any less real. This is coming from a guy who hated 3MB & never really got a fair chance in the WWE. This promo is clearly coming from real life frustration that Drew has delt with over the years.

Take what WWE is doing for example. It’s obvious that Reigns is the guy they want to be champion but to many of us he’s not OUR guy, and that’s what Drew is getting at. The fans should be the ones making the stars. I mean after all aren’t we the ones that buy tickets, sell out arenas, buy PPV’s and merch?? We should have a voice or voice does matter and as screen in the video Drew has no problem giving us a voice.  Drew has taken over both the impact Twitter and Facebook this weekend using the #StandUp, here are some of the things he’s said:

Another thing that struck a chord with me is that he said its Professional wrestling fans and not sports entertainment fans. We need to get back to a time where the wrestling aspect means more then the entertainment part and I think Drew is the guy to get us there. Don’t beloved me? Watch the promo for yourself.
