WWE SummerSlam 2025 faces a sudden change as Drew McIntyre, originally scheduled for a key tag team match, is unable to participate due to a passport issue while in the United Kingdom. This unexpected development has forced WWE to consider potential replacements for McIntyre’s spot alongside Logan Paul against Randy Orton and Jelly Roll.
Potential Replacements for Drew McIntyre at SummerSlam
One of the strongest candidates to fill McIntyre’s role is The Miz, who has a history of teaming with Logan Paul dating back to their joint debut at WrestleMania 38 in 2022. Though The Miz has taken less prominent roles on WWE television recently and rarely competes, reuniting with Paul could generate significant interest. Their pairing would offer a dynamic heel team to counter the fan-favorite duo of Randy Orton and Jelly Roll.
A match featuring The Miz and Logan Paul battling a living legend like Orton alongside a popular country music star at what WWE brands as

would create an exciting storyline, with The Miz likely positioned to accept the defeat in the final outcome.
As WWE weighs their options following McIntyre’s absence, the promotion’s decision will impact the card and fan expectations for SummerSlam 2025. The replacement’s chemistry with Logan Paul and ability to elevate the match remain critical factors in the final selection.
