Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul have some harsh words for celebrity "outsiders" in WWE. On the latest episode of the Impaulsive podcast, the duo took aim at both Travis Scott for his WrestleMania 41 interference and their upcoming SummerSlam opponent, Jelly Roll. The conversation highlights a growing debate within wrestling about the right and wrong way for celebrities to get involved in the business. Both McIntyre and Paul made it clear they feel there is a certain level of respect and athleticism required. McIntyre Blasts Travis Scott The most scathing comments were reserved for multi-platinum recording artist Travis Scott. McIntyre blamed Scott for ruining the main event of WrestleMania 41, where his interference helped John Cena defeat Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship. "Do a six-minute run-in at WrestleMania and screw up our damn main event," McIntyre said of Scott's involvement. He then bluntly added, "Travis Scott. Piece of s---." An Insulting Comparison The conversation then shifted to their current rival, Jelly Roll. Logan Paul, a celebrity who has earned respect for his incredible athletic ability in the ring, said he finds it "insulting" when a non-athlete thinks they can just walk into the business. McIntyre echoed this sentiment with sarcasm.

"I don't know, dominoes in jail, I assume?" McIntyre did give credit to the "anomalies" who have successfully transitioned, naming Paul himself, Kurt Angle, and Ronda Rousey as natural athletes who took to wrestling quickly.

Alex BierensThe Modern "Respectful" Celebrity The comments from McIntyre and Paul tap into a long history of celebrity involvement in WWE. While legends like Mr. T and Mike Tyson brought massive mainstream attention to the company, there have been many instances of celebrity appearances that have been poorly received by fans. In the modern era, a new standard has been set by stars like Logan Paul and Bad Bunny. Both men have been praised by fans and fellow wrestlers for their dedication, intense training, and clear respect for the wrestling business. Their critically acclaimed in-ring performances have created an expectation that any celebrity who steps into a WWE ring must be willing to put in the work. McIntyre and Paul's comments frame Travis Scott and Jelly Roll as celebrities who are not meeting that new, higher standard. The Road To SummerSlam These comments are the latest shots fired in the build to a massive tag team match at SummerSlam. The feud ignited on SmackDown on July 11th when Paul confronted Jelly Roll, leading to Randy Orton making the save. After more chaos at Saturday Night's Main Event, the match was made official: Randy Orton & Jelly Roll vs. Drew McIntyre & Logan Paul. The war of words is sure to intensify as the blockbuster match approaches. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports

WWE star Roman Reigns shuts down 6th kid rumors during hiatus
The post WWE star Roman Reigns shuts down 6th kid rumors during hiatus appeared first on ClutchPoints. Before making his epic return during Monday Night RAW on July 14, 2025, there were reports that WWE's Roman Reigns had his sixth kid while on hiatus. However, the 'Only Tribal Chief' has debunked those rumors. He took to TikTok to address the rumors. The caption of his post read, 'Five and done,' indicating he will not have another kid anytime soon. He also wrote, 'Addressing the rumors…' over the video. 'I'm done,' Reigns said. 'They [said] I was trying to catch up to Jacob [Fatu] or something? Five and done. I've done my job. I procreated. No more.' Reigns then fired back at those who called his hiatus a 'vacation.' He reassured them that he was still working when he wasn't seen in WWE. 'It wasn't a vacation! It was school 'til June, and then we started tutoring. Don't feel bad for me. Don't ever feel bad for me,' he responded. So, it does not appear those rumors are true. Reigns appears to be back in WWE for the long haul after his three-month hiatus. Expect to see a lot more of him leading into SummerSlam. How many kids does WWE Superstar Roman Reigns have? Reigns has five kids with his wife, Galina Becker. Their first daughter was born in December 2007. They then had two sets of twin boys in 2016 and 2020. His WWE career started in 2010 when he signed with their developmental brand, Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW). Reigns previously aspired to be an NFL player, going undrafted in the 2007 NFL Draft. After brief stints with the Minnesota Vikings and Jacksonville Jaguars, Reigns played a season in the Canadian Football League (CFL). He debuted in WWE in 2012 as part of the Shield with Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose. They remained together until Rollins turned on his stablemates in 2014. Once he became a singles star, WWE never looked back with Reigns as their top star. They pushed him when the audience rejected him. After his return in 2020 after taking a hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Reigns reinvented his character. He debuted the 'Tribal Chief' persona that he still uses today. During his 'Tribal Chief' run, he had a 1,316-day reign as Universal Champion. Along the way, he won the WWE Championship, unifying the titles. He eventually lost them to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40.

The post WWE star Drew McIntyre trolls SummerSlam foes with viral Coldplay meme appeared first on ClutchPoints. The hottest pop culture story has been the affair scandal at Coldplay's recent concert, and WWE star Drew McIntyre capitalized on this with a meme for his SummerSlam foes, Jelly Roll and Randy Orton. He took to social media to share a picture of Orton and Jelly Roll photoshopped into Coldplay's fancam. Orton is holding the country music singer from behind just as Andy Byron was holding Krisin Cabot. Needless to say, the post went viral. McIntyre's post has accumulated nearly five million views since it was posted on X, formerly Twitter. This caused Orton to respond with his own version of the meme. He and Jelly Roll are singing the Cardigans' 'Lovefool' in his version of the meme. Their lips move with the words. Coldplay caught an affair red-handed During Coldplay's July 16, 2025, concert in Foxborough, Massachusetts, Chris Martin and the band accidentally exposed a cheating couple. Astronomer CEO Byron was shown on the jumbotron while embracing his Chief People Officer, Cabot. When they were shown, Byron quickly ducked out of view. 'Either they're having an affair or they're very shy,' Martin quipped as the moment unfolded. It turns out that Byron is married to someone else. So, they were caught cheating in front of thousands of those in attendance at Coldplay's concert. Plus, the moment went viral online, with a bevy of memes spawning from it. WWE star Drew McIntyre's SummerSlam match It is nice to see the Superstars having fun before their showdown. Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul will face Randy Orton and Jelly Roll in a tag team match at the 2025 SummerSlam PLE. McIntyre is one of WWE's top heels, and he is joining forces with Paul, another top bad guy. They are facing Orton, who is one of the company's most popular babyface stars. Together, the trio will have to carry Jelly Roll in his in-ring debut. The Grammy-nominated singer has been training to make his wrestling debut. He will be getting in the ring with three legends of the business. Previously, Jelly Roll made an appearance during an episode of Monday Night RAW. He also performed at the 2024 SummerSlam event. He would deliver a chokeslam to Austin Theory during a segment later in the night.

CM Punk Details How Vince McMahon Ruined Past WWE Return
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. CM Punk has revealed new details about a secret meeting he had with Vince McMahon and Triple H to discuss a potential WWE return, years before he actually came back at Survivor Series 2023. In a new interview, Punk detailed a "handshake agreement" that was made, and how it all fell apart. Speaking with Robbie Fox on the My Mom's Basement podcast, the former WWE Champion shared the story of the clandestine meeting. He said it took place in 2018 or 2019, long before his eventual return to the company. CM Punk's Secret WWE Meeting Punk explained that after his agents had been in contact with WWE, Vince McMahon began calling him personally to "eliminate the middleman." This led to a face-to-face meeting in Atlantic City with both Vince McMahon and Triple H. "We had a meeting and we had a handshake agreement and then he ghosted me," Punk revealed (H/T to Fightful). "So, that's why it didn't happen. Unbelievable." He added that this story corrects the internet perception that he tried to return to WWE and was rejected, which then led him to take the analyst job on FOX's WWE Backstage show. He clarified that the failed return plan is what led to the FOX opportunity, not the other way around.

ATLANTA, GEORGIA - JANUARY 27: CM Punk speaks during WWE Monday Night RAW at State Farm Arena on January 27, 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia. WWE/Getty Images The Infamous 2014 WWE Exit The fact that a meeting even took place was significant given the circumstances of Punk's departure from WWE in 2014. He famously walked out of the company following the Royal Rumble that year, citing creative burnout and serious health concerns that he felt were being ignored. His grievances were aired in a legendary podcast interview that created a deep and bitter rift between him and the company, which included lawsuits and public animosity that lasted for years. More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation The fallout from his exit made a potential return seem impossible for nearly a decade, which is why this secret meeting was such a monumental step. Mending Fences With Triple H The meeting was also a pivotal moment in Punk's historically contentious relationship with Triple H. During his first run, Punk was very public about his belief that Triple H never saw him as a top star and actively worked against his creative direction. Punk revealed that this secret meeting was the first time he and Triple H began to repair their broken relationship. "That would have been probably the first time that me and Triple H probably started chipping it away at any problems or drama that we had in the past," he said. "That was the first instance." While that return plan ultimately fell through after McMahon "ghosted" him, the initial conversation was a crucial first step. It laid the groundwork for the working relationship with Triple H that would eventually facilitate his shocking and successful return at Survivor Series 2023.
