Drew McIntyre Reacts to Fan Criticism After Aligning With Logan Paul – Drew McIntyre has aligned himself with former United States Champion Logan Paul following the events of Saturday Night’s Main Event, and the pairing is already drawing strong reactions from WWE fans. Now, McIntyre has addressed the online criticism in typical fashion—through sarcasm and self-promotion.
After WWE confirmed a tag team match for SummerSlam pitting McIntyre and Paul against Randy Orton and Grammy Award-winning artist Jelly Roll, McIntyre took to X to comment on the backlash. Sharing a photo of himself wearing a “Bored At Work” t-shirt alongside Paul, McIntyre wrote:
“The internet hates this already, which probably means it’s not actually that bad.”
The post also included a link to his merchandise on WWE Shop, leaving some fans unsure whether the remark was sincere or tongue-in-cheek marketing.
The controversial new team was formed after Saturday’s match between McIntyre and Orton, where Logan Paul appeared in McIntyre’s corner and Jelly Roll supported Orton. A ringside confrontation between Paul and Jelly Roll escalated, leading to Orton capitalizing on the distraction and finishing McIntyre with an RKO. After the match, McIntyre attacked Jelly Roll with a Claymore Kick, cementing the animosity that will now be settled in the ring at SummerSlam.
While some fans have welcomed the unexpected alliance, others have questioned whether teaming a veteran like McIntyre with a celebrity-turned-wrestler like Paul makes sense creatively. McIntyre’s quick response to that criticism suggests he’s fully leaning into the buzz—positive or not.
In related news, WWE and Fanatics announced today that Logan Paul’s digital series IMPAULSIVE is now officially part of their growing lineup of co-promoted content. While the show will continue to air on YouTube and audio platforms as usual, it will now receive added promotional support through WWE and Fanatics channels.
With SummerSlam fast approaching, the tag team clash featuring Orton and Jelly Roll versus McIntyre and Paul is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about crossovers of the event.
