Drew McIntyre recently expressed his desire to feud with Randy Orton whenever the latter returns to WWE after fully recuperating from his injury.
McIntyre and Orton are no strangers to each other, having had a memorable feud for the WWE Championship in 2020. The two performers traded the title back and forth and put up several encounters that are still fresh in fans' memory. The rivalry was key in legitimating The Scottish Warrior's status as a top babyface in WWE.
In an exclusive chat with Sportskeeda Wrestling ahead of Superstar Spectacle 2023, Drew McIntyre was asked about possibly feuding with The Viper again.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
"Oh, yeah, if it makes sense, 100%. If Randy Orton returns, it's gonna be such a huge moment. He's been out for such a long time. There's been a lot of chatter about what's going on with him and his significant injury that could be career-ending. So for Randy Orton to return, it would be such a moment for WWE, wrestling as a whole, and I get the opportunity to get inside there with him once again and reignite our feud of the past. That would be really special for me," said Drew McIntyre. [1:38 - 2:04]
