Drew McIntyre's momentum stalled after his high-profile loss to Damian Priest. Over the past few months, the Scottish Warrior has been fighting his way back to the top, trying to reestablish his presence in the main event scene.

A win over Randy Orton at Saturday Night’s Main Event would be a massive step forward. Considering the history both men share, a potential victory would undoubtedly end up being a massive boost for McIntyre and his plans to move and further regain his spot in the main event scene once again.

WWE has been subtly planting the seeds for Randy Orton’s heel turn, especially after his intense clash with Cody Rhodes at Night of Champions. Following his loss to The American Nightmare at the premium live event, a furious Orton was seen looking rather frustrated, with the fans speculating that a potential heel turn was incoming.

With Cody Rhodes set to face John Cena for the Undisputed WWE Championship at SummerSlam, his chances of walking out of MetLife Stadium as the new champion are fairly high. Considering the entire roster of the blue brand, Drew McIntyre could be the ideal challenger waiting in the wings.

The Scottish Warrior confronted Rhodes last week as well during his return, with the company teasing a match between both men in the near future. A potential feud between Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes would undoubtedly be a treat to watch.

Fans will now have to wait and see what WWE has in store for the stars next.
