WWE Champion Drew McIntyre Set to Revisit Heated Old Rivalry on Raw

WWE has pumped fans up for Monday night Raw with a major match card announcement. It looks like Drew McIntyre will have to visit an old nemesis yet again as his run with the WWE Championship continues. 

In a recent post on Instagram, WWE announced that ‘The Scottish Psychopath’ will take on Randy Orton in the main event.

However, the stakes aren’t as high as their previous battles. The title won’t be on the line, so McIntyre will walk out as the champion unless Miz gets any wild ideas.

For avid watchers of the show, this will be a good little throwback to the best rivalry of 2020. Following the heated feud with Edge that was placed on hold after Backlash, Randy Orton shifted his focus to Drew McIntyre. 

Orton wanted the WWE Championship at all costs and started a huge feud with McIntyre for the gold. The two fought through the latter half of 2020, and Randy managed to clinch the title at Hell in a Cell. 

‘The Viper’ ingeniously dodged the Claymore Kick to RKO drew and win by pinfall. However, this run was disappointingly short for Orton, and he quickly lost the Championship on the next episode of Raw.

Drew McIntyre will have to close the door on Randy Orton again

Drew put the huge rivalry to rest by regaining the title, and Orton started feuding with “The Fiend” and Alexa Bliss. However, it looks as if bad blood will curdle once again as the two meet in the ring tonight. 

Everyone thought the rivalry was done and dusted, and so did the WWE Champion. 

‘The Scottish Psychopath’ has been in and out of feuds as hungry challengers try to snatch his gold away from him. To top it all off, his best friend Sheamus betrayed him in a shocking moment last week on Raw.

‘The Celtic Warrior’ may play an important role in the fight against Orton, but then again, Randy may also be troubled by Alexa Bliss. Both competitors have other worries on the back of their minds as they enter the ring tonight.
