The two Superstars engaged in a little chit-chat. Keith Lee asked McIntyre what his thoughts were on the Randy Orton rivalry. This question struck a nerve of the WWE Champion.
“Randall Keith Orton, hmmm. Randy is an absolute legend at this stage of his career but since this Edge thing started I guess, something changed in him,” said Mcintyre. “I’ve never seen Randy the way he is now, he’s so focused and sort of a different level.”
“He doesn’t care about anybody right now. He’s taking on Ric flair, the guy who literally cleaned up every little mess behind him. After all that mentorship, after all that protection, all that money he brags about on his name now, he kicks Ric flair in the f****** head,” says McIntyre.
Going off on a rant, McIntyre assured Lee that he was going to hurt Randy Orton at SummerSlam in a few days.
Drew McIntyre and Keith Lee both have tough defenses ahead of them
Drew McIntyre has finally met the eyes of “The Legend Killer” after months of following their own storylines. Randy Orton has been on a rampage, punt-kicking everyone he faces.
He has Ric Flair’s record of 16 Championship reigns on his mind. Orton hence looked towards Drew McIntyre, whom he also aims to vanquish. He has successfully ambushed McIntyre twice to RKO him, but McIntyre got the better of him on the latest episode of Raw.
