Last year Drew McIntyre defeated Brock Lesnar to become WWE Champion at WrestleMania 36, and later that year he moved on to a major feud with Randy Orton.
Orton and McIntyre feuded for months, and at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view in October of 2020 Randy Orton managed to defeat Drew McIntyre and end his run as WWE Champion.
However, Randy Orton’s reign was short-lived as Drew won the title back on Raw a few weeks later, but Orton told Steve Austin during Broken Skull Sessions that Drew McIntyre showed his appreciation when they got backstage.
“After he won the title back from me, looking at me in Gorilla – I don’t think anyone else was around and he told it to my face, and this means so much to me, ‘You did more for me than anybody in this business, with what you did for me in that ring tonight.’ And all it was, was selling, and believing in him and letting him do his thing – and getting that feedback from somebody like that, who, I believe, loves and respects this business, and deserves those tidbits of information that I’m able to help him with, or in the ring – it makes me feel good. Now here I am and I’m in this position, I can help these younger guys and I’m having fun with it, Steve, like I really am.”
Drew McIntyre will get his chance to become WWE Champion once again when he challenges Bobby Lashley for the belt at WrestleMania 37. It was also confirmed this week that Randy Orton will be facing The Fiend at the Show of Shows. Stay tuned for updates.
