McIntyre posted a video while stranded in the United Kingdom earlier this week and shared that he was not being allowed to board his flight back to America after attending a friend's wedding, owing to some issues with his passport. According to a new update from Fightful Select, WWE sources were confident that the former champion would be able to make it to SummerSlam this weekend in New Jersey.

Drew McIntyre takes a shot at the WWE locker room

Wrestling legend Vince Russo recently reacted to Drew McIntyre's shot at the WWE locker room.

Drew McIntyre was recently on Logan Paul's Impaulsive podcast and stated that the majority of the locker room looked like they didn't belong on television and needed to hit the gym more to capture the audience's attention. Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's UnSKripted, Vince Russo reacted to McIntyre's comments and suggested that many stars in the locker room were hacks.

"He said 25% of this roster belongs on this roster. And Drew [McIntyre] talks about 'My friends call me and say, Drew, you know I watched the wrestling show tonight. I could beat those guys in the ring.' And Drew was saying on the show, 'Guys, at least go to the gym. At least make an effort to go to the gym.' Bill, these are not pros. These are not pros that you were interviewing and sitting next to in PWI in your freaking heyday. These are children, they are hacks, they are not professional, and, quite frankly, Bill, they suck."
