Beginning of wrestler career

The first steps on the career ladder in the WWE for Drew began with performances in the ring in the image of Festus.

He was taken to a group called "Aces and Eight", where he constantly appeared in a mask. Gallows's fights were spectacular and tense, so he was offered to sign a contract with the TNA federation. But in one of the fights, the fighter Parkes tore off his mask. After this incident, Luke Gallows tried to fight even more fiercely, but still lost several battles.

Continuation of the career of wrestler

In 2013, Luke left the TNA Federation and decided to sign a new contract with the organization New Japan Pro Wrestling. Here he spoke for three years. And in 2016, in January, he and his friend Karl Anderson were offered a new contract to participate in WWE. Together they managed to defeat the brothers of Uso. Over the next few months, they decided to come to the aid of one common friend. It was Hey Jay Stiles, a former partner of Luke from the Bullet Club. Gallows and Anderson helped him in fights against famous wrestlers Roman Raines and even John Sina. After a while, the comrades stopped their general training. RAW decided to offer several performances to a strong wrestler. It was Luke Gallows. The career of the fighter continued in this promotion. His companion Carl Anderson also participated in the RAW.

Victory and Losses

In 2016, during the SummerSlam against a team called the New Day, two strong wrestler friends - Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows - fought. Titles they could not win, because they won by disqualification. But Luke and Carl did not stop at this loss. They tried to win these titles several more times. But in the two battles at Clash of Champions and Raw, the New Day team still prevailed. After these unsuccessful attempts, the comrades-wrestlers had fights with Enzo and Cass in 2016 on Hell In A Cell. This time they succeeded in overcoming opponents. In the Survivor Series tournament held in 2016, Karl's friends and Luke's friends were part of Raw. Their team defeated the Hypes. In addition, they took over the American Alpha. Unfortunately, their next performance was not so successful. The team of Karl and Luke was eliminated by Raino and Heath Slater.

A welcome victory that did not happen

During the tournament, which was held by Raw in late November 2016, Luke Gallows and Carl Anderson once again struggled in their attempts to win the team championship over the New Day. The fight was very spectacular. A large number of fans were sick for the team of Luke and Carl. But the New Day was stronger once again. It seemed that on this battle the wrestlers had to stop and throw all their hopes for victory. But the comrades still held another match on December 12, 2016. It was a tournament all the same Raw, and the match contained a triple threat, as it was attended by the cruel rivals Seamus and Sezaro. And again the New Day prevailed over Luke and Karl. This team could not win the team. But they do not consider this loss as something terrible for their career. After all, in wrestling, the main thing is a spectacle, not a victory.
