What happened between Jelly Roll and Drew McIntyre during WWE's live event? Details explored

Things were heated in the WWE ring between Jelly Roll and Drew McIntyre. During the Jelly Roll & Randy Orton Vs. Logan Paul & Drew McIntyre match for WWE SummerSlam 2025, Randy Orton beat his Scottish opponent using his finishing move, the RKO. However, Paul came in for a post-match beatdown, and the rapper, real name Jason Bradley DeFord, came to the rescue.

After blocking a punch from Paul, DeFord swung at the YouTuber, knocking him down. The actor turned wrestler eventually crawled out of the ring. But in a swift turn of events, Drew McIntyre came in and knocked DeFord out with a Claymore Kick. The singer lay face down in the ring, motionless, while the Scottish wrestler yelled:

"What did you think was going to happen to you? You step into my ring, you become a target. You're gonna remember this night," before he was pulled away from Jason.
