WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre encountered an unexpected travel issue just days before SummerSlam 2025. He shared a video message directed at fans and specifically at his upcoming opponent, revealing the predicament.
Initially, McIntyre’s video seemed like a scripted segment, with fans thinking he was teasing his rivals with some playful banter. However, reports from Pwinsider confirm that McIntyre is genuinely stuck in the UK because he was denied boarding on a flight back to the US. The issue stemmed from him not having his physical US passport, only his British one, forcing him to remain behind while his wife returned home without him.
McIntyre expressed frustration, noting that the week of trial was already over when he was barred from flying back. In the video, he said, "I can’t go back to America. They won’t take me on my flight. No, I’m in the UK…" He had planned to return in time for SummerSlam and addressed Jerry Roll, hinting at the growing notoriety of the situation.
Despite the travel hiccup, McIntyre promised fans he would make it back in time for SummerSlam. He added humor by focusing his phone camera on a cow and jokingly threatening a rival wrestler. Behind the light-hearted tone, this issue is causing real concerns within WWE, as sources confirm the delay impacts training schedules for the event. McIntyre is set to compete in a highly anticipated match alongside Logan Paul against Jerry Roll and Randy Orton.
The timing of his return to the US remains uncertain, but WWE officials are actively working to resolve the matter.
Fan Take: This unexpected travel snag adds real drama to SummerSlam, reminding fans that even off-screen challenges can impact the high-stakes world of WWE. McIntyre’s determination to overcome this hurdle only heightens anticipation for his match, potentially making the event even more memorable.
