Randy Orton defeated Drew McIntyre to become a World Champion in WWE for the 14th time at Hell in a Cell. He now stands at the same line with Triple H who also captured the belt for fourteen separate occasions. Only John Cena and WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair stands before him who had 16 world title reigns by their names.
Now, this was supposed to be the end of the rivalry between Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre that is going on since the summertime of 2020. But that isn’t done yet as seen on Raw. The duo was still seen fighting with each other during the closing moments hinting at yet another rematch. That will eventually happen but we believe a third person will also get involved in the scene.

The Fiend vs Drew McIntyre vs WWE Champion Randy Orton will be the next title match lineup following Hell in a Cell. At this point, Orton is booked against Roman Reigns at Survivor Series in a Champion vs Champion matchup. So this match will go down sometimes down the road around the November PPV. TLC is happening in December and the lineup could be postponed for that night, as well.
We should also note that the booking point of this Triple Threat lineup where Drew McIntyre will still be around the title that he held since Wrestlemania 36 till October. Randy Orton can simply pin him again to retain while The Fiend Bray Wyatt would also be able to retain his strong status intact by remaining unpinned during this three-way match.
The Fiend made his presence felt in the title picture during the final segment of post-Hell in a Cell edition of Raw. Randy Orton was the guest on A Moment Of Bliss where he repeatedly asked about Wyatt’s demonic version. Drew McIntyre then came out to attack Orton.
He was in control when the lights went out. The Fiend’s red light came on and his strange screeching music also started playing when Orton realized that The Fiend was standing behind him. He was staring right at the WWE Title indicating his interest in that belt. Orton eventually dodged confrontation with him and instead resumed fighting with McIntyre to close Raw.
