WWE Raw Preview (11/01/21): Drew McIntyre vs Randy Orton

After a huge beginning in 2021, WWE Raw will look forward to setting the grid ready eyeing the Royal Rumble pay-per-view which happens within three weeks of time. Drew McIntyre is once again the headliner of the show who’s expected to have a big night. He will also face Randy Orton in a rematch when this week’s episode airs from the Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay, Florida.

Going by the latest announcements, this week’s WWE RAW episode will be a “huge night” for WWE Champion Drew McIntyre. The new promo released for the show hinted that McIntyre may respond to the Royal Rumble title match challenge issued by Bill Goldberg. The Hall of Famer was present on last week’s show when he returned after a hiatus of almost eight months.

It’s not clear whether Goldberg will be present during the coming episode WWE Raw or not as his appearance was not confirmed. But a huge match will go down in the main event when McIntyre faces Randy Orton in a non-title match. The King of Claymore Country Drew McIntyre successfully defended his title last week in an all-out battle against Keith Lee.

But now the chip is bigger on the champion’s shoulder as he faces The Viper with whom he had an illustrious rivalry throughout this past summer. In fact, Orton was the only name to hand him clean pinfall losses on two occasions including one for the championship on the line.

Lacey Evans and Peyton Royce have been trying to prove their potential as a tag team for quite some time. Thanks to some help from Ric Flair, they finally were able to pick up a win, and that too over one half of the Women’s Tag Team Champions, Charlotte Flair on WWE Raw. Ric tripped her own daughter causing the win which made Lacey so happy that she planted a kiss on him, once the match was over. Now the Lady of the WWE could certainly expect to receive a title match against Flair and Asuka.

Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke could also be eyeing the tag team titles but first, they have to deal with the former champions who are targeting them. Shayna Baszler took cheap shots against Mandy Rose from behind to cancel the scheduled match between the two. Dana Brooke did pick up a win against Baszler but she suffered the wrath of the latter one, too. It’s predictable that both Mandy and Dana will be coming after Baszler on WWE Raw.

Riddle and Bobby Lashley are rumored to square off in a US Title match for some time and now that match seems inevitable to happen. Due to a bad decision of the referee, Riddle picked up a win over Lashley despite tapping out to the Hurt Lock. Since Lashley is booked to compete in the Royal Rumble match, his title defense should go down, perhaps this or next week. More on the story will be available when WWE Raw goes, live from the ThunderDome.
