WWE superstar Drew McIntyre faced travel complications that raised concerns about his participation in SummerSlam, but there is now some optimism that the issue is being resolved. According to Fightful Select, WWE insiders are confident the problem will be fixed, although the situation caused frustration within the company.
The trouble began when McIntyre was stopped from boarding a flight back to the US after a wedding trip in the UK, putting one of SummerSlam’s key matches at risk. Scheduled to team up with Logan Paul, Jerry Roll, and Randy Orton, McIntyre voiced his disappointment in a video from the English countryside. Despite showing proof of his US residence and identity, airport staff insisted he had to have his physical passport to fly.
He shared how he and his wife tried to check in but were turned away because he didn’t have his US passport on hand, even though identification was verified. McIntyre also made playful jabs at fellow wrestler Jelly Roll, promising to “make him pay” once this ordeal is over.
Behind the scenes, WWE is working to ensure McIntyre will be cleared to return in time for the premium live event.
