Drew McIntyre was featured on WWE's Breaking It Down and talked about a rather interesting backstage incident that took place right ahead of his debut in 2007.

The Scottish Psychopath revealed that his original name in WWE was Drew Galloway which was changed just minutes prior to his on-screen debut by Stephanie McMahon.

“Stephanie McMahon says to myself and [WWE producer] Michael Hayes, ‘Is Drew Galloway your real name?’ I said, ‘Yeah,’ and she was like, ‘Ah, how about you change that?’ And I’m on in legitimately two matches, maybe ten minutes max, so myself and Michael Hayes ran straight to Talent Relations.” (H/T: Sportskeeda)

While he has used his real name while competing for promotions such as Impact Wrestling, he has come to be known as Drew McIntyre by WWE fans all across the globe - all thanks to Stephanie McMahon.
