#1. WWE is more invested in Drew McIntyre than Randy Orton right now

Randy Orton may be the hottest star in WWE but simply put Drew McIntyre happens to be the guy in WWE right now. When a Superstar wins the Royal Rumble and defeats Brock Lesnar for the WWE Title in the main event of WrestleMania, that's a sign that Vince McMahon is serious about them.

One major factor when it came to Vince McMahon pushing Drew McIntyre is the prophecy he made about him in 2009 where he declared him as a future World Champion. That along with McIntyre's rapid improvement in every aspect of the game meant that he was ready for the top spot he's in now.

Randy Orton has taken it to the next level in the COVID-era, but Drew McIntyre was and still is the right guy to lead WWE in these confusing times. When WWE invested so much time, effort, and money into McIntyre, it's unlikely that they were ever going to give Randy Orton the win.
