A major WWE<\/a> match announced for SummerSlam 2025 <\/a>is in serious jeopardy after a top superstar wasn’t allowed to travel back to the United States.<\/p>\n

On the first night of the August 2 and 3 double header, Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul are set to face Randy Orton and Grammy Award-winning singer Jelly Roll <\/a>in a tag team match.<\/p>\n

McIntyre, known as the Scottish Warrior<\/a>, has been back in the UK for a friend’s wedding in England over the weekend, but he’s now claimed he was stopped from boarding his flight back to the US where he has lived for a number of years.<\/p>\n

‘There\u2019s now a good chance I don\u2019t make #SummerSlam,’ he captioned a video on X as he talking into his phone camera from a field.<\/p>\n

‘It’s quite a week I’ve had. You wanna know how it’s been capped off? i can’t get back into America, They wouldn’t let me board my flight,’ he said in the video.<\/p>\n

‘I’m in England still, at my buddy’s wedding – what a wedding it was. Planning to go back, train for SummerSlam, but no, no, no, no, I got blocked.<\/p>\n
