Drew McIntyre vs. Randy Orton added to WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event
Drew McIntyre is back, and he’ll be in action next weekend.
After taking some time off, McIntyre appeared in the opening segment of Friday’s SmackDown, attempting to meddle between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton. After Orton laid him out with an RKO, McIntyre confronted Aldis backstage about the situation. The match was then made for next Saturday in Atlanta, Georgia.
McIntyre was last seen on the May 24 edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event, where he lost a steel cage match to Damian Priest. The two finished off their feud that also saw them compete in a Sin City Street Fight at WrestleMania 41, which McIntyre won.
Rhodes and Orton were talking about their match at Night of Champions on SmackDown when McIntyre came out to mock them for their “beta male energy.” He attempted to get under both men’s skin, telling Rhodes that he hoped he would win at SummerSlam as he wanted to be the one to take the title off him. It was then that Orton laid out McIntyre with an RKO. The segment ended with Orton and Rhodes staring each other down.
