After days of uncertainty, WWE superstar Drew McIntyre has officially confirmed he will compete at WWE SummerSlam 2025, thanks to a last-minute rescue by his tag team partner Logan Paul, who sent a private jet to fly him back to the United States from the United Kingdom. This announcement ends a tense saga fueled by passport complications that threatened to keep the “Scottish Warrior” off wrestling’s biggest summer stage[1][4].

Passport Issues Put McIntyre’s SummerSlam Status in Jeopardy

The chaos began when McIntyre revealed he was stuck in the UK due to a mix-up involving his passport. According to multiple reports, McIntyre had brought the wrong travel documents with him and was unable to board a flight back to the U.S. for SummerSlam, scheduled for early August. This led to widespread concern among WWE fans and insiders, with speculation that McIntyre might be forced to miss the event entirely[2][3].

Sources close to WWE indicated that the company’s legal team was urgently working to resolve the issue and get McIntyre back stateside. The situation escalated as rumors started circulating about a possible replacement for McIntyre on the card—most notably, WWE veteran The Miz was reportedly offering to step in for him[2].

Logan Paul’s Private Jet to the Rescue

Amid the uncertainty, McIntyre took to social media to provide fans with a much-needed update. In a video posted on X (formerly Twitter), McIntyre addressed the flood of messages from fans and media asking about his status and confirmed that things were looking bleak at first. He playfully called out The Miz for attempting to take his place but then revealed the good news: Logan Paul had sent a private jet to bring him home[1].

Logan Paul made a surprise appearance in the clip, emphatically declaring, “Hell Nah! You think I’m gonna partner with the Miz, bro? I got a Scottish warrior!” This confirmed not only McIntyre’s return to the U.S. but also that their highly anticipated tag team match against Randy Orton and country music star Jelly Roll would proceed as planned at SummerSlam[1].

The Significance of McIntyre’s Return

This tag match has garnered significant attention, blending WWE’s top-tier talent with celebrity involvement, a formula often used by WWE to boost mainstream interest in their big events. McIntyre and Logan Paul teamed up for the first time publicly on WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event in early July, and the SummerSlam bout is shaping up to be one of the marquee matches of the night[1].

According to insider reports and interviews, McIntyre’s presence on the SummerSlam card is crucial—not just for storyline continuity but for the overall marketing push of the event. Drew’s physicality and popularity make him a top attraction, and his feud with Randy Orton, combined with Jelly Roll’s crossover star power, is expected to draw a larger audience[1][4].

Behind-the-Scenes: WWE’s Response

WWE’s timely intervention and rapid coordination to solve the passport issue highlight the company’s commitment to ensuring its stars’ availability for lead events. While WWE legal representatives were “working diligently” to secure McIntyre’s paperwork, it was ultimately Logan Paul’s private jet that sealed the deal, underscoring the backstage camaraderie and resourcefulness among WWE performers and collaborators[2][4].

What’s Next for McIntyre and Paul?

With McIntyre back in the U.S. and cleared to compete, the focus now shifts fully to their dynamic in-ring performance at SummerSlam. Their chemistry and combined star power promise an exciting display against historical rival Randy Orton and Jelly Roll. Fans will be watching closely, especially after McIntyre’s social media jibe at Jelly Roll, calling him “stupid” for allegedly trying to get him stuck in the UK—a classic wrestling promo touch that amps up anticipation for their clash[1].

Final Confirmation and Fan Reaction

On July 31, McIntyre formally confirmed via social media that he is ready and cleared for SummerSlam, dismissing all doubts about his availability for the event. The WWE Universe responded enthusiastically, with many praising Logan Paul’s quick-thinking assistance and McIntyre’s perseverance in the face of adversity[5].

As SummerSlam approaches, WWE fans can rest assured that the “Scottish Warrior” will fight alongside Logan Paul as planned. This thrilling tag team matchup is now set to be one of the highlight bouts of the biggest party of the summer.
