On 23 January 2015, Galloway competed in a one-night tournament for the International Wrestling Federation (IWF) World Championship. He defeated Tommaso Ciampa to advance to the finals where he faced Brian Cage, Chris Hero and Uhaa Nation in an elimination four way for the vacant title. Galloway would eliminate Hero by pinfall, but failed to win the title, as he was the last man eliminated following a distraction from Stu Stone which allowed Cage to get the win and the championship. On 24 April, Galloway defeated Doug Williams to win the Scottish Wrestling Alliance's Scottish Heavyweight Championship. He made his first successful defence the following night, defeating SWA Tag Team Champion Mark Coffey in the main event. In a rematch in November, Coffey was successful in defeating Galloway for the title.
