Tonight’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw is the go-home Raw for the Royal Rumble, and WWE has confirmed a few matches for the show.
Andrade is set to defend his US Title against Rey Mysterio in a ladder match, and Rusev & Liv Morgan are going to be facing off against Lana & Bobby Lashley.
WWE has now announced that Randy Orton will be going one on one with Drew McIntyre tonight.
WWE posted the following teaser hyping up the match:
“As the Royal Rumble event approaches, Drew McIntyre has emerged as one of the favorites to triumph in the men’s over-the-top-rope, 30-man battle that will send its winner to WrestleMania. He’ll have another opportunity to add to his bonafides tonight when he takes on Randy Orton just one week after McIntyre pinned the 13-time World Champion in a Triple Threat Match that also included AJ Styles.
Should McIntyre repeat, it’d more than increase his betting odds to win the Men’s Royal Rumble Match, but it’s crucial not to underestimate Orton in this situation as well. A perennial safe bet in big matches, The Apex Predator is seemingly never more on point than he is when he’s about to be counted out. Following his upstaging at the hands of McIntyre last week, he might ironically have his opponent right where he wants him.”
