Drew McIntyre, known as The Scottish Psychopath, is set to participate in a high-profile match at WWE SummerSlam 2025, joining forces with Logan Paul against Randy Orton and country music artist Jelly Roll. With his reputation for creating disruptions both on-screen and off, McIntyre’s presence at The Biggest Party of the Summer raises concerns about possible incidents that could lead to serious consequences for him within WWE.
Possible Injury to Celebrity Wrestler Jelly Roll
One potential source of trouble involves Jelly Roll, a newcomer stepping into the wrestling ring for the first time. Given the physical nature of wrestling and Jelly Roll’s inexperience, there is a chance Drew McIntyre could accidentally injure him during the match. Since TKO, the company behind the event, places a strong emphasis on celebrity appearances, an injury to Jelly Roll could provoke significant backlash from management and the wider WWE community.
Targeting Randy Orton’s Vulnerable Back
Randy Orton, a legendary figure with 14 world championship reigns and over two decades in WWE, has previously suffered a serious back injury that sidelined him for about 18 months. Knowing this, McIntyre might choose to focus his attack on Orton’s back to gain an advantage. Although this would be a strategic move in the match, it risks crossing the line by exploiting a legitimate past injury, which could draw the ire of WWE officials concerned about player safety.
Interrupting the WWE SummerSlam Main Event
Another way Drew McIntyre could cause chaos is by disrupting the expected main event between John Cena, the Undisputed WWE Champion, and Cody Rhodes, known as The American Nightmare. Their longstanding rivalry might already be a point of tension, and McIntyre could escalate the drama by attacking both competitors during their title match. Such an intrusion would almost certainly anger Triple H and the WWE leadership, though it might stem from McIntyre’s own frustration with his SummerSlam placement.
A Shocking Alliance with The Rock
The event could also see Drew McIntyre forming an unexpected partnership with WWE legend and TKO Board member The Rock. This development might occur after McIntyre’s potential interruption of the Cena-Rhodes match, further fueling controversy. Since The Rock and Triple H have a well-known rivalry behind the scenes, McIntyre aligning with The Rock could deepen tensions, possibly resulting in mixed treatment from WWE’s creative team depending on which authority figure is present.
Unleashing Rage After a Potential Loss to Jelly Roll
Finally, if Drew McIntyre were to lose—especially if pinned by Jelly Roll—it might trigger an intense emotional outburst. Such a scenario could lead to McIntyre attacking referees and security personnel, creating a disorderly scene. This escalation could prompt SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis to intervene, only to be met with a Claymore kick from McIntyre himself. Such actions would inevitably lead to disciplinary measures, including possible suspension and significant fallout within WWE.
The Stakes and Potential Fallout for Drew McIntyre
Drew McIntyre’s involvement in the celebrity match and the surrounding SummerSlam scenarios highlight the fragile balance between high-stakes entertainment and professional conduct in WWE. His decisions—whether driven by strategy, frustration, or impulse—have the potential to create serious problems with WWE management, including Triple H and TKO executives. As the event approaches, fans and officials alike will watch closely to see whether McIntyre’s aggressive tendencies ignite chaos or if he manages to channel his intensity productively.
