Drew McIntyre may be out of SummerSlam if things don’t change fast. The WWE star is currently stranded in England after being denied entry back into the United States—and it’s not a storyline. With his scheduled tag team match alongside Logan Paul hanging in the balance, WWE could be forced to pivot plans before the premium live event.
Ringside News can confirm that Drew McIntyre’s travel issue is not a work, and WWE is actively working to resolve the situation. If the matter isn’t cleared up soon, the company may be forced to pivot plans. The delay could directly affect McIntyre’s scheduled SummerSlam tag team match, where he’s set to team with Logan Paul against Jelly Roll and Randy Orton.
McIntyre took to social media the day before RAW and vented his frustrations in a chaotic video from an English field, explaining how a passport issue kept him from boarding his flight home.
“I can’t get back in America. They wouldn’t let me board my flight. Look at the scenic countryside. Does that look like an American scenic countryside? No, I’m in England. Still at my buddy’s wedding. What a wedding. It was planning to go back, train for SummerSlam. But no no, no, no, no. I got blocked.”
He detailed how he and his wife tried to check in as usual, but this time ran into unexpected resistance despite proving his identity.
“Wife and I walked up to the gate trying to check in. Always goes perfectly fine. Not this time though. ‘You don’t have your US passport.’ I know who you are. I know you’ve lived there for a long time. I know you’re showing me pictures of US passport and your Global Entry… it doesn’t matter.”
The situation got even more personal as he revealed his wife had to board the flight home alone, leaving him behind.
“My wife and I panic. We say we’ve got a sick animal at home. We’re good people. We care about our animals. We care about people… ‘Go ahead babe, don’t think about me. Leave me behind. Leave me to die behind.’”
In classic McIntyre fashion, he ended the video with a shot at his on-screen rival Jelly Roll, accusing the country star of being responsible for the whole ordeal.
“What changed this trip? Jelly Roll. You’ve got your 15 minutes of fame right now. You can get away with some stuff. You’re hot. Soon you will not be. So you’re getting in while you can.”
“Why am I in a field? I don’t know why I’m in a field. I can tell you one thing—when this is all over and I’m going to get back, I’m going to drop you, Jelly Roll. I’m going to make you pay. And eventually, you’re going to gain all that weight back and you’re going to look like one of these fckers.”
With time running out before SummerSlam, WWE now faces a serious question: will Drew make it back in time, or will they have to reshuffle one of the card’s biggest celebrity-driven matches?
