Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul have teamed for SummerSlam
After their back-to-back encounters on July 11, SmackDown and the July 12 edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event. WWE has announced a tag team match where the team of Orton and Jelly Roll will battle the team of Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul.
Both teams have a lot of bad blood, which even spilled out last week when Jelly Roll hosted Jimmy Kimmel Live, which was gate-crashed by Paul and McIntyre.
Orton and McIntyre started brawling while Logan continued humiliating and slapping Jelly, who fired back, putting Paul through the desk. They will now settle their differences inside the squared circle next month.
