SummerSlam 2020 is just around the corner and the stakes could not be higher for the pay-per-view. There are a lot of do-or-die matches on the card and this is one event you cannot miss. The spotlight of the show will be when Drew McIntyre defends his WWE Championship against a relentless Randy Orton.

Drew McIntyre has been on a hot streak ever since he won the title at WrestleMania from Brock Lesnar. He hasn’t lost a singles match throughout his reign and has demolished every challenger in his path.

“The Scottish Psychopath” is an absolute beast, and has rearranged Dolph Ziggler’s face with Claymore Kicks more times than we can count. 

Despite these impressive and frightening stats to his name, I think Drew McIntyre will lose his WWE Championship to Randy Orton at SummerSlam.

Another man who has been on a winning run after WrestleMania is “The Legend Killer” Randy Orton. Bringing back his gimmick from the younger years of his career, Orton has viciously punt kicked every person to defy him.

Orton has made it his own mission to destroy everyone in front of him, and even took out his mentor Ric Flair to send a message!

WWE has big plans for Randy Orton in the long run. “The Viper” currently has his eyes set on Flair’s all-time record of the most Championship Reigns in WWE history.

Flair’s score stands at 16, while Randy is still stuck on 13. He wants to get there as soon as possible which is why he walked up to the ominous door of Drew McIntyre.

Randy Orton will probably win this one because WWE wants him to reach Flair’s record at 16 Championship Reigns. Also on the same number is the one and only John Cena.

John Cena is the only one who can challenge Randy Orton for the record

“The Cenator” has managed to notch a huge pull of 16 title reigns as well during his long and glorious time in the company. He’s just one title win away from breaking the record.

Sports Journalist Alex McCarthy revealed that Randy Orton expressed his thoughts about the perfect retriement match as you can see in the tweet attached below.

In terms of the long road, Randy Orton winning would make much sense, even though it may come as a heartbreak t oa lot of fans that support Drew McIntyre.
