Potential replacement for Drew McIntyre at WWE SummerSlam 2025 emerges
As seen during the July 12th 2025 edition of WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, Randy Orton and country music star Jelly Roll vs. Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul was officially confirmed for SummerSlam. However, McIntyre’s status for the show is seemingly in jeopardy as he stated in a Twitter/X video that he currently can’t travel to the United States from England because he doesn’t have his passport.
In a video published to Instagram, The Miz stated that he is willing to take McIntyre’s place…
“The man who is bored at work forgot his passport. Drew McIntyre is landlocked in the UK. It might not even be able to make it to work at SummerSlam. Well, I’m not landlocked, so it looks like Logan Paul needs a partner. Let me ask you a question. Who is the person that brought Logan Paul into WWE? Went out on a limb, put his neck out and said, ‘How great he is going to be?'”
“Let me ask you this, who did I beat to win my first WWE Championship? Did you forget? I’ve beaten Randy Orton, not just once, many times on big stages, and I can do it again. Don’t get me wrong, Randy Orton has gotten better with age. Randy Orton is undeniable in a WWE ring, but I can still beat him. Then there’s Jolly Roll, and some people would crack jokes. I’m not going to crack a joke. I applaud Jolly Roll’s weight loss journey. It’s been incredible to watch, and I love the grind. But there’s a difference between dreaming of this and living it every single day. This isn’t a bucket list. This is my life. And I am sick of waiting.”
