WWE superstar Drew McIntyre has found himself stranded in the UK due to unexpected travel issues following his wedding this weekend. The Scottish wrestler shared that he was barred from boarding his return flight because of passport complications. Although he traveled to the UK using only his British passport, officials informed him that he required his US passport to board the flight back to the United States.
Sources from WWE, as reported by Pwinsider, confirm the travel issue is genuine and is currently being addressed by the company. This travel setback comes at a particularly inconvenient time for McIntyre, who has a demanding schedule as a former WWE champion.
Holding dual citizenship in both the UK and the US, McIntyre seems to have encountered confusion regarding which passport is necessary for certain travel scenarios. At this point, it is uncertain when he will resolve the paperwork problems and be able to return to the US.
McIntyre is slated to wrestle in a tag team match at SummerSlam 2025, teaming with Logan Paul against Randy Orton and Jelly Roll. The match is scheduled for Saturday, August, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Fan Take: This travel hiccup highlights how even top WWE stars can face real-world challenges that disrupt their schedules, reminding fans of the human side behind the spectacle. It also raises anticipation for SummerSlam, as fans wonder if this delay will impact one of the event’s highly anticipated matches.
