Recently, the tag team match involving Randy Orton, Drew McIntyre, Logan Paul, and Jelly Roll faced uncertainty. A few days ago, the Scottish Warrior posted a video revealing he was stuck in the UK. This left the WWE Universe concerned about whether the match would take place. However, McIntyre later addressed the situation himself on social media.
The former World Champion took to X and shared a video saying he was back in the States. McIntyre also introduced a special guest—Paul—who helped him get out of the UK. He took a shot at The Miz as well, mocking him for being ready to take his place if he hadn’t made it.
Finally, both McIntyre and Paul addressed their opponents and declared they were finished at SummerSlam. The rivalry began when The Viper defeated The Scottish Warrior in a singles match at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Jelly Roll and Paul were both present and got involved in the match.
All four of them got physical on the latest episode of SmackDown. The platinum award winner surprised everyone in the arena by flooring The Maverick with a Blackhole Slam. He admitted that he had trained extensively for his first in-ring match at SummerSlam. It will be interesting to see what he does at the biggest event of the summer.
WWE: Unreal Reveals Original Plans for Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 41
WWE: Unreal, an unprecedented look behind the scenes at WWE, is now streaming on Netflix. Although some in the industry criticized the tell-all docuseries for breaking the fourth wall, it has received rave reviews for its engrossing content. The series also revealed that the entire WrestleMania 41 card was, at one point, completely different from the version that ultimately came to fruition.
Drew McIntyre, who had a career-defining year in 2024, was originally set to be featured in a major spot at WrestleMania. However, he ended up facing Damian Priest in a Street Fight, which wasn’t the original plan. As revealed in the docuseries, WWE had initially planned for the Scottish star to face Bron Breakker, with Stone Cold Steve Austin serving as the special guest referee.
Unfortunately, the plan fell apart, as The Unpredictable Badass lost his I.C. Title to Dominik Mysterio. Fans heavily criticized McIntyre’s WrestleMania match with Priest. WWE took note of the backlash but stayed on course. In the end, the Sin City Street Fight earned praise from fans. Even critics of the feud gave it strong approval.
