Two huge matches have been confirmed for next Monday’s episode of WWE Raw on the USA Network. This will be the final time that the show will be airing before the 2020 Survivor Series with a headliner match between Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre. The prestigious WWE Championship will be hanging in the balance between the two of them.
This will be Orton’s first title defense on WWE Raw since capturing the title from McIntyre at the WWE Hell In A Cell pay-per-view that took place on October 25. On the other hand, it will be a rematch for McIntyre who is hell-bent on reclaiming the title since dropping it to Orton.

WWE producer Adam Pearce informed the title defense news to Orton to make him angry. The Viper tried to physically assault him, backstage before last night’s main event match. Orton eventually walked out of the six-man tag team match allowing McIntyre to nail John Morrison with a Claymore Kick to get the pinfall win and pick some momentums before going into Survivor Series.
Next week, WWE RAW Tag Team Champions Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods of The New Day will also defend their titles against Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin of The Hurt Business. Alexander and Benjamin secured their title shot by defeating Kingston and Woods in a non-title match on last week’s episode.
It should be noted that next week’s WWE RAW will take place just six days before Orton faces the WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns in a non-title match at Survivor Series. Woods and Kingston are scheduled to face SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Street Profits in another non-title RAW vs. SmackDown match for the PPV. Those scheduled matches could change if the current challengers, McIntyre and The Hurt Business are able to capture the titles.
Speaking of Survivor Series, Riddle has earned the final spot of the Men’s Team from WWE RAW for the upcoming WWE Survivor Series pay-per-view. He won a Second Chance Qualifying Triple Threat over Jeff Hardy and Elias. Riddle pinned Elias with bro Derek maneuver. AJ Styles, Keith Lee, Braun Strowman, and Sheamus are the other four members who represent Team Red in the Survivor Series Traditional 5-on-5 Elimination Match. The PPV will air live on November 22 at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida.
