New WWE Champion Drew McIntyre broke down during an emotional interview segment with his former 3MB "brother" Heath Slater. The two of them were talking about how happy McIntyre's mother would be to see him as champion."Man, the only thing I have to say is, brother, I love you and I am so happy for you," Slater began, appearing with McIntyre on WWE's The Bump. He continued, "You know, all your family and your friends are happy, the WWE Universe is happy, but your mom's very happy, man...I can feel that. I can feel it, you know, like it's starting to come to my eyes." The conversation got more emotional as Slater and McIntyre discussed the the latter's mother, the late Angela Galloway, who passed away following a battle with cancer. "I know she's looking down and she's happy and proud of you," Slater said. "Just remember that."RELATED: WrestleMania: Drew McIntyre Dethrones Lesnar as WWE Champion

McIntyre's mother passed away on Nov. 3, 2012. Before cancer, she had been diagnosed with Cerebellar Ataxia -- a debilitating disease that affects coordination -- while she was in her 20s. The wrestler has stated in the past that his mother's condition and her battle against it served as a source of inspiration.

The Scottish wrestler has had a tumultuous career, filled with highs and lows. It recently reached a high point when McIntyre defeated former WWE Champ Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 36.
