Drew McIntyre has sent a message to Randy Orton following the events of WWE RAW.

On Monday night, Cody Rhodes took the pro-wrestling world by storm when he announced Randy Orton's big return. The Viper will make his return at Survivor Series: WarGames.

Soon after RAW went off the air, Drew McIntyre took to Twitter to share an old photo featuring a face-off between him and Orton. He also sent a message to his old nemesis.

"Hello darkness, my old friend #SurvivorSeries," he wrote.

Orton and Drew McIntyre were arch-rivals not too long ago. McIntyre won the WWE Championship from Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 36 in 2020. Months later, The Viper defeated The Scotsman inside Hell in a Cell to win the coveted belt.

Less than a month later, Drew McIntyre defeated Orton in a "No Countout No Disqualification" match on WWE RAW to win back the belt. The latter was a heel back then, while McIntyre was a full-fledged babyface.

Now that the roles are reversed, it would be interesting to see what happens when the duo comes face-to-face at Survivor Series: WarGames.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
