Though Randy Orton has had a big 2020, Drew McIntyre has also been one of the most improved WWE Superstars in the last year or so. His pairing with Shane McMahon last year was doing no benefit to him as he was just a sidekick. But WWE thankfully realized that and started giving him the push that he deserved. Fast forward, everyone was rooting for the Scottish Psychopath to win the 2020 Royal Rumble, and WWE went all in with him.

Drew McIntyre went on to dominate his entire feud with Brock Lesnar and ultimately defeated him at WrestleMania 36 to become the new WWE Champion. While it was unfortunate that his big moment came in an empty arena, he has done a great job as the WWE Champion during these pandemic-hit WWE shows and that should not change during his feud with Randy Orton in the next few weeks.

If Randy Orton defeats Drew McIntyre at WWE SummerSlam, it will likely lead to McIntyre spending some time in the mid-card scene on RAW. And that might just help uplift the entire mid-card division, thanks to the charisma and star-power that he now possesses. We might see him as the United States Champion on RAW, while Randy Orton holds on to the WWE Championship.
