Rumour: Huge Feud To Begin On WWE Raw

Randy Orton is arguably on the run of his career right now, following his heel turn on former tag team partner Edge on the Raw after the Royal Rumble in January 2020.

WrestleTalk exclusively reported a few weeks ago that upon hearing that the aforementioned Edge wouldn’t be cleared for SummerSlam, Orton began pitching to work with some talent from NXT.

However, WrestleTalk also exclusively revealed that due to the lack of heels on the Raw roster, Orton would almost certainly be selected to face Drew McIntyre at SummerSlam for the WWE Championship.

This has since been corroborated by Dave Meltzer in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, with Dave adding that the match will be the main event of the big pay-per-view.

It has also been reported that the Orton and Drew feud was set to begin on this week’s Raw. However, when the script was torn up just hours before the show, this angle was one of the things scrapped

WWE announced during SmackDown that Randy Orton will be on Raw this week to declare who his next victim will be, so many have speculated that here is where we will see his championship feud with Drew McIntyre begin.

The Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton angle wasn’t the only segment reportedly scrapped from the show, as WWE had plans to reform an iconic stable on this week’s episode. You can read more about that by clicking here.

Speaking of Randy Orton, the plans that WWE has for the former WWE Champion at WrestleMania 37 in April 2021 have seemingly been revealed. You can also find out more about that by clicking here.
