At WrestleMania 40, Drew McIntyre reached the pinnacle of his professional wrestling career when he defeated Seth “Freakin” Rollins in a thrilling match to win the World Heavyweight Championship.
Nevertheless, McIntyre’s joy was short-lived as he made fun of CM Punk, which sparked a counterattack and allowed Damian Priest to withdraw his Money in the Bank briefcase, depriving McIntyre of his title.

Looking back on the incident, McIntyre was upset by Punk’s meddling, and his brother John Galloway took to social media to share his disappointment, saying he had decided to leave the event early in order to comfort McIntyre.
Despite Priest stealing McIntyre’s moment of glory, Galloway expressed his joy in McIntyre’s accomplishment in a moving statement, also expressing the anguish of their mother’s absence at such an important time.
Punk’s distraction cost McIntyre a chance to become the top contender, and Jey Uso took advantage of the situation as their feud between the two intensified on RAW.
McIntyre’s family is unshakable in their support of him despite the ups and downs at WrestleMania 40, as they think he can win the championship again in the future.
