AYRSHIRE wrestling star Drew McIntyre has become the UK's first ever WWE Champion as he won Wrestlemania. 

To bring a welcome distraction from the ongoing world pandemic, WWE still pledged to hold their showpiece event, which was pre-recorded with no crowd. 

And Prestwick born Drew took full advantage beating Brock Lesnar for the coveted Wrestlemania belt. 

The colossal wrestler last night shared a picture of him being crowned champion to fans. 

He said: "I dreamed a broken dream, and made it come true. I made it for you."
