With SummerSlam just days away, WWE is facing a crisis as Drew McIntyre’s involvement is uncertain due to a genuine travel issue. The Scottish superstar is currently stuck in the UK after attending a friend’s wedding and was scheduled to team up with Logan Paul against Randy Orton and musician Jerry Roll.
If McIntyre can’t resolve his travel problems by Friday’s SmackDown, WWE officials will be scrambling behind the scenes to come up with backup plans. Pwinsider has confirmed that the passport problem is real and not part of a storyline.
McIntyre has been humorously addressing his situation on social media, even joking about “paying” the musician if he misses the match. These social media exchanges have brought some fun to what is otherwise a tricky logistical challenge for WWE’s creative team.
The Miz has already stepped up, offering to be Logan Paul’s replacement partner, though WWE has yet to make an official announcement about any contingency plans. The status of McIntyre’s participation will likely be clarified during Friday’s SmackDown, where WWE is expected to either confirm his involvement or unveil alternative arrangements.
Fan Take: This situation highlights how real-world issues can suddenly impact WWE storylines and matchups, adding an unpredictable layer to the sport. For fans, it underscores the importance of adaptability in wrestling and keeps the excitement alive with potential surprise developments.
