Drew McIntyre isn’t pulling any punches when it comes to his upcoming tag team match at WWE SummerSlam—and country star Jelly Roll is firmly in his crosshairs.

After SmackDown, McIntyre jumped on social media to unleash a brutal verbal takedown of the musician-turned-wrestler. Before diving into the insults, McIntyre made it clear he sees himself as the straight shooter in the feud.

“I’m not the bad guy. I tell the truth. I keep my promises.”

But then he flipped the switch, ripping into Jelly Roll’s recent transformation and the praise surrounding it.

“You’re celebrated for being just under 300 pounds for SummerSlam. What kind of goal is that?”

McIntyre didn’t stop there, dragging comparisons between them into the open and calling out how people view his fitness versus the fanfare surrounding Jelly Roll’s current look.

“You’re celebrated for not looking like an advertisement for diabetes anymore, while people expect Drew to be the most jacked guy around.”

The former WWE Champion then challenged Jelly Roll’s commitment to the sport, accusing him of treating it like a novelty act.

“This is just a hobby for you. An ego trip. This is my life.”

Even Randy Orton didn’t get off the hook. McIntyre expressed disappointment that Orton teamed up with Jelly Roll, but made it clear that his main target was the chart-topping singer.

“I’m going to beat the f*ck out of you. This little dream of yours is going to become a nightmare.”

The tension has officially boiled over. The tag match—Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul vs. Jelly Roll and Randy Orton—is set to go down at SummerSlam, and it’s now about way more than just entertainment.
