WWE star Drew McIntyre has provided a concerning update to the fans just one week away from his scheduled match at SummerSlam.
The 3-time World Champion recently took to social media to let the fans know that he was stuck in England as he did not have his US passport with him as he was boarding a plane back to The States with his wife:
“I can’t get back in America. They wouldn’t let me board my flight…I’m in England still at a buddies wedding, what a wedding it was. Planning to go back, train for SummerSlam, but no no no no no, I got blocked. Wife and I walk to the gate, trying to check in. Always goes perfectly fine. Not this time. Drew, you don’t have your US passport. I know who you are, I know that you’ve lived there for a long time, you’re showing me pictures of your US passport and your global entry, but it doesn’t matter.”
The caption on McIntyre’s video noted that “There’s a good chance” that he would not make it back in time for SummerSlam on August 2 and 3, putting his match into question. The Scottish wrestler also added that his wife went back to the States without him to look after their sick animals. McIntyre is currently set to team with social media star Logan Paul to take on Randy Orton and country singer Jelly Roll in a celebrity tag team match.
Following the video being posted, Mike Johnson of PWInsider stated that the issue is a legitimate one, according to WWE sources.
