TKO’s Power Could Help Drew McIntyre Make It To WWE SummerSlam
Drew McIntyre’s match at WWE SummerSlam seems to be in serious jeopardy, but the situation might not be as serious as first thought.
Drew McIntyre is set to team up with Logan Paul at SummerSlam as part of a match that has received a lot of attention, as they will face Randy Orton and Jelly Roll. However, after returning to the UK to attend a friend’s wedding, Drew McIntyre was not allowed to board his flight back to the United States.
An irate Drew McIntyre explained the situation in a social media post, noting that because he didn’t have his US passport, he couldn’t board, and as a result, his match at SummerSlam is now in serious doubt.
But there could be good news for fans of the former WWE Champion.
Drew McIntyre Still Expected At WWE SummerSlam
Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer explained the situation and why he’s sceptical that Drew McIntyre won’t make it to SummerSlam:
I am sceptical that he won’t make it to SummerSlam. There are a lot of people with a lot of power in TKO and I don’t think they want one of their top stars who’s in a featured match to not make it to the show.
He was at the airport, he went to a wedding this weekend, he went to the airport to come home, and he showed his UK passport. I guess when he goes home and back, he does that all the time and for whatever reason, they told him because he’s a US citizen, his UK passport wouldn’t work, so they wouldn’t let him on the plane.
I would find it very surprising [if he missed SummerSlam], the show is on Saturday. They could switch the match [to Sunday]. He’s got til Saturday to get here; it’s not like it’s a trip around the world. He’s going to MetLife Stadium, so it’s UK to New York, that’s not that far a flight. You could leave the day before and make it easy. I don’t know what’s going on with him any more than that.
