In a video posted to his social media accounts on Saturday, WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre sadid that he is stranded in England and may not be able to make it back to the United States in time for his scheduled tag team match at SummerSlam next weekend. McIntyre, who was in the U.K. for a friend’s wedding, stated that he was denied boarding on his flight home due to passport issues. He turned the real life situation to blame his SummerSlam opponent, Jelly Roll. The video below shows McIntyre in a field in the English countryside explaining the situation.

“They Wouldn’t Let Me Board My Flight”

“It’s quite the week I’ve had. You want to know how it’s been capped off? I can’t get back in America. They wouldn’t let me board my flight,” McIntyre began. “Look at the scenic countryside. Does that look like an American scenic countryside? No, I’m in England, still at my buddy’s wedding… Planning to go back, train for SummerSlam. But no, no, no, no, no, I got blocked.”

He detailed the issue at the airport. “Wife and I walked up to the gate trying to check in. Always goes perfectly fine. Not this time,” he explained. “Bro, you don’t have your US passport.’ I know who you are. I know you’ve lived there for a long time… but no way, we can’t let you in the country, buddy.”

McIntyre added that his wife had to fly back home without him to take care of a sick pet. “My wife and I panic. We say we’ve got a sick animal at home… ‘Go ahead, Babe, don’t think about me. Leave me behind…’ She has to go against her will. Goes back home, look after the cat, and here I am.”

McIntyre Blames Jelly Roll

The “Scottish Warrior” then directly accused Jelly Roll of using his celebrity connections to sabotage his travel plans in an attempt to weaken him before their match.

“What changed this trip? Jelly Roll,” McIntyre declared. “You know, somebody got some connections. You got your 15 minutes of fame right now, you can get away with some stuff… You realize when I took off my shirt on SmackDown, you went, ‘Oh my God, all that aura. I’m screwed.’ So you’re gonna screw up my training for SummerSlam week.”

He concluded the video with a direct threat to the musician. “I can tell you one thing, when this is all over and I’m gonna get back, I’m gonna drop you, Jelly Roll. I’m gonna make you pay,” he vowed. McIntyre added in the caption: “There’s now a good chance I don’t make SummerSlam.”
